How to create and 3D print a lithophane

Hints:
- Print time can be very long... especially if your image is large and has many dark portions. Try selecting images on a light background, or use the mask and bgrd editor to remove the background.
- Do not modify the model height in your slicer... Always keep it at 2 mm.
