This is a v2 version of my box that uses a LED bulb commonly found on/in vehicles instead of a LED strip and cleaned the box up a little.

This can just be used with any type of light of your choosing, the bottom of the box is just flat. Glue in or whatever your favorite light source.

Barrel Pigtail: 5.5 x 2.1 Female

How To:
Box Settings:
M3 Hardware for top. I will be using M3 x 12
Barrel Version uses 5.5 x 2.1 mm Barrel.
Barrel tolerances are tight. I sanded the plastic on the barrel on all 6 sides and it stays in friction fit. Try it first though. I then add a dab of Hot Glue on inside just for little added security.

Photo Settings
I use Paint.NET for editing photos.
Key is to have the photos as square as possible to achieve a 100x100 output. If using Paint.NET:
Click "Image" at the top
Click Canvas Size
Define your anchor. I usually use center (click on center square)
Uncheck Maintain Aspect Ratio
Match the Height with what is in the Width px count
If happy, save your photo then upload it on http://3dp.rocks/lithophane to create the model, then print!
