Printed in 2 pieces, this box and lid are designed to display up to four of the customized photographic lithopanes.Please note that you can put your very own photographic images in the place holders! You must purchase a clip light to insert into the base of the box in order to light it from the inside. The seam lines in the photograph are on my prototype only and will not be present when the box is printed as a single unit. Please see the instructions for details on the lithopanes that will fit this box.

I found that the box is best printed in one piece (the photos show seam lines that would NOT be present when it is printed as a single piece) and the lid printed separately. The customized lithopanes: http://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=74322: allow you to choose and print your own photographic images. The box has 4 place holders that up to 4 of these lithopanes can be glued into for display. The size and details of the lithopane that fits this box are as follows: Picture Shape = HD Wide (not standard), Picture Orientation = horizontal, Pane Size = small, Invert Colors = yes check the box, Include Hole (under ADJUSTMENTS tab) = no, Layer Height = 0.2, Number of layers = 20

An example of the clip light that fits into the base can be seen here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VX6A5K/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I strongly recomment switching out the bulb for an led one that does not get hot! This is a nice bright one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CRHG63Y/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you choose to put lithopanes in all of the available panels you would be printing 6 separate components: 4 Lithopane images + 1 box + 1 lid.
