Ok first this is a tutorial not a thing. The STL file is a placeholder; do not download.
Cura has a powerful yet less known feature: turning any photo into a lithophane. It is much more convenient, flexible, and better quality than other methods posted on Thingiverse.
Choose a suitable picture. The good candidates have good contrast and are not overly messy. Basically, any photo that looks good in black and white will look good as a lithophane.
Drag and drop the picture file into the Cura window. A setting window will pop up. Set it up as below:
--Height (thickest height): 2-4mm; the higher the darker black and better contrast, but more than 4mm and the dark region loses shades. Use a lower height for a life photo and a higher one for a silhouette.
--Base (thinnest height): 0-0.4mm. Set 0mm if the image is not very bright, set 0.4mm if the image has highlights.
--Width and depth: choose whatever fits your need. Personally I print as large as possible for finer details
