Introducing PIXELDOTS

The next evolution in physical pixel artistry! The standout feature of this model is the dot design, tailored specifically with 3D printing in mind. Each dot incorporates a negative volume of an hexagonal pyramid. This precise design ensures dots grip the base studs firmly while being easily removable. Despite the natural tolerances of 3D printing, this unique shape promises a consistent and flawless fit, as evidenced by tests on thousands of dots.

Beginning with the 16x16 base plate, create your own masterpieces using only the dots. For expansive creations, base plates can be interconnected using bow tie joints. 

Display options

  • Grace your walls with a special wall-hanging attachment.
  • Feature prominently on desks with the stand attachment. 
  • And for that exquisite touch? The printable frame accentuates every piece, making your pixel art a standout showpiece.

Starting with the test piece is recommended to appreciate the precision firsthand. Dive into the PixelDots experience and redefine pixel art's boundaries.
