FAQ
Answers before you print.
Common questions, clear guidance, and quick decisions before you export.
What is the best format for a 3D printed lithophane: STL or 3MF?
STL works in almost every slicer. Use 3MF when you want a more modern file format and compatible slicer workflows.
Do I need to install anything to use 3DLithophaneMaker?
No. Everything runs in your browser — just upload a photo and start generating.
How do I improve contrast in a lithophane print?
Use a high-contrast source photo, keep consistent layer height, and verify results with a bright backlight.
