Description

This is a lithophane cube, made for 130mm square lithophanes, that sits on and rotates on a base. The custom base and platter that attaches at the top of it are made to accept a candelabra lighting kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Westinghouse-6-ft-Cord-Set-with-Snap-In-Pigtail-Candelabra-Base-Socket-and-Cord-Switch-7010800/204836010). I put a 40W LED bulb that I picked up for about $3 from Walmart in it. The modified base of the original "thing" then sits down on the assembled stand. If you have problems finding this kind of lighting, check out the LED lighting option in the great remix of thing:5213597

Because the lithophane cube rests on a round plate that lines up with a round hole in the cube base, you can revolve/rotate the cube around and see all sides of it while the base/lighting stays stationary. It also makes the cube easy to lift off and disassemble in case you wish to swap out the lithophanes. The base also adds some height to the original cube structure so that the final result is about 8.5" from corner to corner and 8.5" high.

For the complete frame and base, print the three STL files here and the top and four corners from the "thing" from which this derived (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1370792).

If you are interested in lithophanes, these pieces plus a lot of others are posted in the files section of the Lithophanes group on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/groups/Lithophanes).

The pictures show my initials and the year in the finished base of the cube. Don't worry, That is not in the STL file, but just in the finished product that I made for a family member. :)

UPDATE: After reports that the original cube files that this was intended to work with had changed, I uploaded a ZIP file that contains all the parts for the full cube - just add your own lithophanes.

SECOND UPDATE: I uploaded the original files in STEP and Fusion 360 formats for those who want to do things like change the light connector or eliminate the cut-out for the cord. Please mark that you are doing a derivative though so I can see how this thing evolves.
