Summary
This lithophane base is designed to fit GE incandescent nightlights (#52194) and support lithophanes made using "Image to Lithophane" (http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/) generated using the outer curve mode.
The idea is that you glue your printed lithophane onto the curved base and the C-shaped adaptor fits snug in the groove at the base of the GE nightlight. Its an easy to make nightlight lithophane.
Print Settings
Printer Brand:

Printer:
Printrbot Simple Metal
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
0.2mm
Infill:
100%
Notes:
Its only 4 mm tall so its a quick print.
For printing lithophanes i print them vertically so the X-Y axes generate the gray scale (best resolution). The curved mode gives best base support for vertical printing.
Post-Printing
To attach the lithophane (printed separately) to the base i used #4 Acrylic solvent cement. Superglue would probably work too.
How I Designed This
designed in 123D Design using a micrometer to measure the GE nightlight.
