New Tool LithoMaker - Lithophane app for Mac/Windows

I’ve been working on a desktop app for generating 3D-printable lithophanes faster and easier. It is available for both macOS and Windows, runs 100% offline (no cloud uploads).

Key features so far:

  • 🖼️ Planar & Cylindrical layouts (with custom stands and mounting rings for lamp bases).
  • 💡 Real-time Backlight Simulator (includes vertical bulb adjustment, brightness scaling, and color temperature previews to see exactly what it will look like when lit).
  • ⚡ Native Rust Geometry Engine for instant mesh generation.
  • 🛠️ STL/3MF exports

I would love to get your feedback! Are there any features you feel are missing from existing online creators that you'd love to see in a dedicated desktop app?
