  1. Is CNC lithophane carving going out of style?

    Hi All,
    I carve lithophanes with a CNC machine but I've been seeing makers out there showing their lithophanes created with 3-D printing. I personally don't think they are as good. It seems scale...
  2. Lithophane lights and backlighting art with LED light panels

    I light my carvings with a 1/4 thick LED light panel. Whenever I'm at an art festival, I often see other artists struggling with various forms of lighting their work. Usually it's some sort of...

    Lighting Lithophanes Update

    Update on this thread: There's a new supplier for lighting lithophanes. You can get LED lithophane light panels at a website called Lithophane Lights. They have a small and large size.
  5. I bought it.

    Thanks, Gerry. I get the opportunity to meet with one of the Rockler people tomorrow.
    I appreciate the unbiased feedback from the CNC zone community.

    A 6 to 7 hour run time is reasonable to us because it currently takes us 2 hours or so to run an 8" X 10" lithophane with Keling stepper motors.
    Also, I have no idea how the word "lithophane" became...

  9. Is this software or machine issue? Lithophane woes.

    Hi, I'm planning to purchase a new Rockler Shark CNC machine. I currently use larger kit built machine with photoVCarve and Mach 3 for processing. The Rockler machine uses PhotoVCarve and it's own...

    Yet another lighting option for lithophanes.

    If you want something quick and simple for even lighting you can get the 5 by 7 LED light panel here: Lighting Lithophanes.
    It's 30 bucks but works well and comes with a rocker on/off switch.

    I wonder if those bumps are only visible on your original image when enlarged to about 400%? But, they show up on your finished result due to the size of the bit?
    I had a problem like that when I...
