Hi and welcome Tony! You'll need to include some photos. The 3D model would also be useful.

Could you add photos of the print and possibly cut out views of the STL or sliced file?

# Using 3DP.Rocks software for modeling a lithophane using the dome-on top option

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-09-27)

I made the model with the [3DP.Rocks](https://3dp.rocks/lithophane/) software. I sliced the design with Prusa Slicer 2.8.1. The finished product was indeed a lithophane. The problem however was that the base of the dome was so thick that a light behind the dome failed to illuminate the lithophane.

I have made curved and straight panel lithophanes that worked perfectly. When I saw the dome option, I thought I would give it a try. No luck, any ideas?
