Lithophanes from your photos

Upload a picture and wrap it onto a sphere, Christmas bauble, panel or night-light curve. We print in Hamilton. Backlit, the photo glows through the wall.

How it works

Photo → 3D model → print

01 Design here
Add 1–4 photos. On a bauble they sit in separate panels around the globe so each face stays sharp.
02 We review
Send it as a quote. We check wall thickness, print orientation and whether a stand or LED hole is sound.
03 Print & finish
Printed in white PLA+ (or resin for small fine faces), cleaned and checked under light.
04 Pay link, then ship
After approval we email a page with the exact amount. Pickup in Hamilton or NZ-wide shipping.
