I make all my Lithophanes to fit my custom frames.

Dimensions are 126.5mm x 177mm

DO NOT RESIZE LITHOPHANES IN YOUR SLICER!

If you want a different size, it is best to resize the B&W image, then create a new STL at lithophanemaker.com or https://tool.itslitho.com

You can use the same settings as I did, just tweaking for size.

Also, Different filaments have different transparency.

These settings worked well for Esun Cool White PLA+

Min .6 Max 2.8

Settings in the pictures.

I used Mark Gonsowski’s Lithophane Profile

It is included in this download package.

The only things you may need to change are Retraction settings and sprint speed.

I also change to 1.2mm layers vs 1.0

If you are using both my night light profile and Thomas Brooks Lithophanemaker to generate a night light STL you will need to add bottom layers only if you increase the "adapter thickness" to a value greater than the default value of 1.8 mm. If you increase the thickness from 1.8 to 2.0 for example you would need to add another 2 bottom layers if your using a layer height of .1 
Some other Cura settings you may need to change depending on what filament you're using and printer setup/calibration would be your temps, retraction speed/distance and flow.
