Photo of one subject

Silhouette light box

A light box shaped like your subject

The background is removed and the box follows your subject's outline: a face-down colour front cover with a lip that follows the outline, and a matching back box with keyholes and a cable hole where they fit.

from $75.00 each

  • About 208 mm wide (default) x the subject's height x 22 mm
  • Up to 8 filament colours
  • Live 3D preview in ~25 s

Upload your own or choose one of our designs.

What works best

  • One connected subject (pet, person, object) on a plain background
  • Higher resolution gives a smoother outline
  • Group shots and busy scenes give an odd outline; only the largest subject is used

What we do to your image

  • Background removed automatically; the largest subject is kept and gaps inside its outline are filled
  • The outline is smoothed to remove pixel steps
  • Rotated upright using the photo's orientation tag
  • Colours mapped to our 10 stocked PLA filaments (max 8 per item)

At least 400 px on the longest side, 1000 px or more recommended.

Options

The preview updates a moment after you stop changing things.

Look

Automatic keeps faces as photo shading and turns logos and art into bold solid colours.

Limits for this product

  • Max 8 colours including the frame and backing
  • The front panel is 0.8 mm thick so the light shows the colours
  • Large sizes are reduced automatically to fit our printer with its colour-change tower (you will see the final size)
  • Narrow outlines may have one keyhole or none, and no room for a cable hole
