Description
Kromacut could add a dedicated lithophane workflow or settings group for prints intended to be viewed with light passing through them.
This needs more planning before implementation, but the goal would be to make lithophane-style output feel intentional rather than something users have to approximate through general print settings.
Potential areas to explore:
- Lithophane-specific thickness controls.
- Light/dark mapping behavior.
- Preview behavior for backlit viewing.
- Material/color assumptions for translucent or white filament.
- Export settings that make sense for lithophane prints.
Desired outcome:
Users who want to create lithophanes have a clearer, dedicated path inside Kromacut, with settings and preview behavior designed around light-through-material prints.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by mapping Kromacut’s existing settings, light/dark mapping, 2D/3D preview, and STL/3MF export entry points, then define the lithophane workflow and its material assumptions. Done means a planned, dedicated path with agreed thickness controls, preview behavior, and export settings.
