App to Create Portrait Shadow Sculptures - STL Generator Tool

Model Overview & Print Notes

This is not a single STL file. This is a digital Portrait Line Shadow Sculpture Tool for 3D printer owners, makers, personalized gift creators, and creative projects. Upload a portrait photo, color or black and white, add one or two text lines, preview the sculpture, and export printable STL files. The tool converts the portrait into continuous vertical shadow lines, then combines the design with a custom decorative base. The final result is a personalized 3D printable shadow sculpture: * The portrait is created from vertical shadow lines * The base can include one or two custom text lines * Each text line supports 4 to 10 characters including spaces * The base can use a wood style or a plain style * The tool exports separate STL parts for easier printing * The finished artwork can be mounted and lit from underneath to create a shadow effect What makes it special? * It is an app, not one fixed STL file * Upload your own portrait photo * Supports color and black-and-white images * Adjust zoom and portrait position * Adjust line count, lightness, and contrast * Add a custom name or short phrase * Choose Wood or Plain base style * Export STL files for 3D printing * Works offline after download * No 3D modeling experience required How it works: 1. Upload a portrait photo 2. Adjust the face position and details 3. Add one or two text lines 4. Choose the base style 5. Generate the preview 6. Export the base STL and portrait plate STL 7. Print the parts 8. Assemble the plate into the base 9. Place a small light underneath and watch the portrait shadow appear Perfect for: * Personalized gifts * Couple portraits * Family memories * Friendship gifts * Memorial gifts * Romantic wall art * Custom photo-based artwork * Creative 3D printing projects * Makers who want something different to print Best photo type: Use a clear portrait photo with good lighting and visible facial features. High contrast images usually give the best result. Very dark, blurry, low-resolution, or crowded-background photos may need editing before upload.
