3D Printed Photos

Personalised photo gifts for friends

That photo of the two of you, 3D printed into something they'll keep: a lithophane that glows when lit, a filament painting in bold colour, or a sculpted relief. A personal present for a best friend's birthday, a leaving do or just because.

A present with a story

The best gifts for friends are about something you've shared: a festival, a holiday, a wedding, years of nights out. A 3D printed photo of that moment is personal, a bit unexpected, and much more fun to unwrap than another candle.

Try the colour-changing LED stand with a lithophane for a gift with some personality, or a filament painting in a bold palette such as Orchid or Twilight.

Ideas for friends

Choosing the photo

  • Pick a photo where your faces are close together and clear.
  • Crop out busy backgrounds so the faces fill the frame.
  • For a group, choose the large size.

Upload your photo to the studio to see exactly how it will look before you order.

Questions

Can I send it straight to my friend?
Yes. Enter their name and address at checkout.
Can you print a group photo?
Yes, when everyone is close together. Crop in and choose the large size so each face keeps its detail.
Does the lithophane come with a light?
You can add our LED light stand at checkout, from £8. It holds the panel upright and lights it from behind with a warm white or colour-changing USB light, and it's printed in the colour you choose. Without the stand, a bright window or a lamp behind the panel works well too.
How long does delivery take?
We print every order in our Manchester workshop and post it within 5 working days. Tracked delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after that, and it's free on orders over £30.
