In this tutorial I reveal my secrets of 3D printed Lithophanes.
Lithophanes are thin plates of translucent material that display a picture when illuminated from behind.

The video contains the following parts:
00:16 Preface
02:22 Part 1: Introduction
03:33 Part 2: Basic Workflow
14:20 Part 3.a: Make It Great, Print Orientation
17:10 Part 3.b: Make It Great, Resolution
18:39 Part 3.c: Make It Great, Contrast Control
22:45 Part 3.d: Make It Great, Vectors Per Pixel
23:58 Part 3.e: Make It Great, Infill Pattern

Please excuse my English as I am not a Native English Speaker.
