Lithophane Calibrator - Parametric Grid

thingiverse

Thomas Pmaxuw's Lithophane Filament Calibrator is as elegant a concept as it is a simple design. He created a simple wedge design to service this ambition. The concept is to print different thicknesses of a given material to see what range will work to create a Lithophane. This is a simple yet impressive concept and the model is well executed. That said, I couldn't help but tinker. My version is designed from the ground up in OpenSCAD. I have added the ability to configure the thicknesses printed. The labels are also part of the model eliminating the need for a second piece to see what the measurements are. While the uploaded models can be useful, if you have any skill with OpenSCAD or care to brave the Customizer you can modify many of the parameters of this model to suit your needs. See the information below for how to build and configure this model. Please post pictures if you print this model. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you to Thomas Pmaxuw for the inspiration for this model.
