Three Mother's Day-themed lithophanes. These spherical lithophanes each have multiple images and can be set on top of a lighted base. Switch them out and rotate them to display one of eight total images. Fairly fast print (about 4.5 hours) with no supports or AMS required. Will print on the A1 Mini.

Make Your Own Lithophanes Using My Light Base
You can generate your own lithophanes using your own photos at Lithophanemaker.com. The lithophane can be set for any diameter as long as the base is the correct size to fit in the lighted base. Your photograph should be approximately 3.3:1 width to height ratio to wrap all the way around the sphere, like the picture.
I used the following settings:
Lithophane Resolution: 0.25
Sphere Diameter: 100
Picture Angular Height: 110
Picture Angular Width: 360.00
Maximum Thickness: 2
Minimum Thickness: .6
Cylinder Outer Diameter: 40
Cylinder Height: 10
Cylinder Thickness: 5
Cylinder Ledge Outer Diameter: 50 (make sure this is set to 50mm to fit into the light base)
Top Hole Outer Diameter: 0
