Lithopanes are becoming increasingly popular, if the 4,600+ results on Thingiverse are any indication. They also have just gotten much easier to create. A new web-based app from 3D Printing Rocks! allows for you to create a lithopane STL file from your own photo... all in just 3 seconds! If you use Chrome, Firefox, or IE 10+, you can easily and quickly drag a photo of your choice into the bottom of the browser window, then modify the specs with a few quick clicks (though default settings already seem pretty optimal), and one click later the STL file begins downloading, ready for your 3D printer.
