Star Wars Themed Lithophane Holder Update

I printed the Star Wars inspired Lithophane holder, and although it required some sanding to get the lithophane to fit, and it was still tight, it looks great.  I used Polymaker Galaxy Blue PLA which has glitter incorporated (see pic at left), and it prints great (no clogs on the 0.4mm nozzle).  Since printing it, I made some tweaks to the design and will need to make another print of the re-scaled holder to test before I can post it (made it a bit larger in the x and y to hopefully help the fit).  I'm planning to post a version with a solid side and possibly one with a different side light design, along with instructions and a blank image file template which will be the exact size of the image I used to create the lithophane on 3dp.rocks/lithophane/.

The design also changed a bit since the last post, since I found that the GE Coverlite LED's project up a but, so I had to make the holder taller, with a bit of space in the base for the LED projection to develop and cover the whole lithophane (otherwise it would be dark in the bottom corners).  Overall I like it though, and I think it will be a great gift.  Note that the pic is intentionally blurred out, but the lithophane is pretty sharply defined (was printed at 0.1mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle).

I'm also thinking about another lithophane desk lamp, but I'm still looking for a good (plug in) LED light source to use with it.

Update 12/20/2021 - Things have been really busy with the other projects and work, so I have not yet posted this.  But I have a couple of other design ideas that I have been working on here and there, so there will be at least one, maybe two different designs when it is uploaded.

Update 12/24/2021 - I was able to test three designs for the side panels and they all work, though the snowflake pattern is a big pain to remove supports from.  However I had to redesign the base since it was never fitting quite right.  I plan to print it today and hopefully get the modifications tested.
