Thickness of Base(mm):

This is the ditstance between the night light's light and the lithophane.

LightDistance (mm):

This is the distance between unique thicknesses on your lithophane stl. A smallvalue makes your lithophane have a finer resolution, but also makes the stl filemuch larger.

Lithophane Resolution(mm/px):

This is the maximum thickness of the lithophane surface. The correct value heredepends upon the filament that you're using.

MaxThickness (mm):

Height (mm):

This is the top diameter of the lithophane lamp.

Top Diameter(mm):

This is the bottom diameter of the lithophane lamp.

Bottom Diameter(mm):

This is the number of waves on the lithophane lamp's profile.

Number of waves:

This is the height of waves on the lithophane lamp's profile.

Height of thewaves (mm):

This determines the size of the frame at the top and the bottom of the lamp.

Base Width andHeight (mm):

This determines the overhang angle on the frame.

Overhang Angle(degrees):

This is the distance between unique thicknesses on your lithophane stl. A smallvalue makes your lithophane have a finer resolution, but also makes the stl filemuch larger.

Maximum Thickness (mm):

This is the maximum thickness of the lithophane surface. The correct value heredepends upon the filament that you're using, and it shouldn't be less than 1.5xyour nozzle's diameter.

Minimum Thickness (mm):

This determines the distance between pictures on the lithophane surface.

Gap BetweenPictures (mm):

This determines the thickness of the spacing between pictures. A zero makes thespacing the maximum thickness (min brightness), and a 1 makes makes the spacingthe minimum thickness (max brightness).

GapBrightness (0-1):
