Two-Color Workflow:
1. Check "Two-Color Mode" to export lithophane.stl and frame.stl separately
2. Print lithophane with white/translucent filament
3. Print frame with black/colored filament
4. Files align perfectly for multi-material printing

Print Quality
Lower = higher detail (0.1-1.0mm)
Quality Guide:
0.3mm: Ultra-high detail (large files, long print times)
0.5mm: High quality (recommended)
0.8mm: Fast preview (smaller files)

What is a lithophane?
A 3D-printed image that reveals itself when backlit. Varying thickness creates shading.
Tips:
- High contrast images work best
- Use "Invert" if your print looks negative
- Close caps for free-standing cylinders
- 0.5mm resolution is ideal for most prints
- Thinner min thickness = brighter highlights
Print Settings
Recommended:
- Layer height: 0.1-0.2mm
- 100% infill
- No supports needed
- White or light-colored filament
- Slow speed for detail
