Q and A

Your Questions answered

  • Q: Is the model fully 3D printable?
    A: Yes, apart from some glue to firmly attach different parts, you don't need anything else but a 3D printer.
  • Q: What 3D printing material should I use?
    A: For the Pixel Pot itself, we found that Fluorescent Green is very close to Green Screen green. For the face, light pink, this one from GST3D is a good and affordable option. We print the eyes in black eco-resin, but they can also be perfectly printed in standard black PLA.
  • Q: Can I try before I buy?
    Absolutely! The blank Pixel Box is completely free (as are a few other models), and all other boxes are sold separately, allowing you to create the storage world you want.
  • Q: Are these Pixel Boxes built to last?
    We’ve strived to create a product that’s beautiful, functional, and durable. The cube is an inherently strong and efficient shape, and a Pixel Box printed in PLA can easily hold the weight of an average person. So yes, they’re durable!
  • Q: Are these Pixel Boxes eco-friendly?
    Yes, we definitely think so. In our eyes, it’s a guilt-free 3D print. Not only does 3D printing save on shipping emissions, but you can use, and most of us do, PLA, which is one of the more eco-friendly plastics. The design itself is also protected from print failures, as even a half-printed Pixel Box is still a usable tray. Perhaps most importantly, it’s a “toy” that’s boredom-proof, combating one of the biggest contributors to waste. Even as your interests change, the fact that it’s a box you can store things in will never change.
  • Q: Can I customize the Pixel? What exactly makes it modular?
    Absolutely! One of the core ideas behind our Pixel is the ability to create storage that’s truly your own. The boxes support the Gridfinity storage system, which opens it up to thousands of 3D-printable accessories. The base pixels are stackable, and the high-resolution files can be scaled up or down without issue. You can even make them fit into each other like Russian dolls. Each box file is sold separately, so you can choose the characters you vibe with the most. And, of course, the ability to 3D print means you can choose your own color scheme.
  • Q: What file format are these models in?
    The models are in STL format, and also include 3MF files compatible with most 3D printing software and slicers.
  • Q: What type of 3D printing are these models best suited for?
    Primarily designed for FDM (filament) 3D printing. In our studio, we sometimes also use SLA (resin) printing for smaller details like eyes to make them extra glossy and shiny. However, this isn’t necessary at all, as all parts of the Pixel Boxes are prototyped on FDM 3D printers.
  • Q: What printer are these models designed for?
    No specific printer is required. They are designed to work with all 3D printers. However, some Pixel Boxes have click-in-place parts, which require the printer to be fairly accurate. This means the printer does need to be accurate, something every 3D printer is capable of but may require some calibration tests and print settings. However, most 3D printers, especially modern ones like the Bambulab series (we use), are extremely accurate out of the box without any effort.
  • Q: Do I need to add supports when printing?
    It depends. Most parts don’t require supports, but some do. In all cases, we’ve designed these models to require the least amount of support necessary, even separating files so they can be oriented to avoid the need for supports.
  • Q: How big is a Pixel Box?
    The standard Pixel Box file is 10 x 10 x 10 cm. Some may vary, if so, it’s clearly stated on the product page. We are working on bigger and smaller versions. Since these are 3D printed, you can scale them up or down. We’ve tested this on our printers, and the clicking parts should still work even when scaled quite drastically.
  • Q: How exactly does Pixel Boxes support Gridfinity?
    Inside a Pixel Box fits perfectly a 2×2 Gridfinity grid. We even made a fun, free caddy so you can lift contents in and out easily and stack things on top. We realize you may have an external Gridfinity system, and your existing 2×2 items will fit inside. But, since a 2×2 grid itself can’t fit into a 2×2 grid, we also make a ton of 3×3 trays that act like little gardens your pixel character can roam into. We love the Gridfinity system and its open-source nature, which makes our Pixel Boxes more useful than ever, not only competing with but eclipsing what mass manufacturers can do. We, therefore, plan to expand Gridfinity support even more, thinking of making tiny 1×1 versions of our characters. BTW, all accessories supporting Gridfinity that we design will always be available for free to download.
  • V: Which third party Gridfinity designs accessories do you recommend?
    You can find a collection of our favorite designs on these links:  Thangs , Printables . We’ve printed and tested most of the designs on these lists to work with Pixel Boxes. Besides that, just because a Gridfinity accessory isn’t on a recommended list doesn’t mean it won’t work. Normally, all Gridfinity accessories that fit within the number of tiles (grid tiles) of your box should work. Now, there are probably exceptions.
  • Q: What type of material do you recommend?
    It doesn’t really matter. We use PLA, and the box can already hold the weight of a human. Specific color recommendations can be found in the more model-specific Q&A.
  • Q: What can I do with these files?
    These files are primarily intended for personal use. You can also give them as a gift or have someone else print them for you. Remixing is allowed and even encouraged, as long as you provide attribution and ensure the work is sufficiently different. That’s perfectly OK with us. We’re just a small studio wanting to grow, and we try hard to not ruin the fun. We understand the 3D printing community values openness and open-source, but we also believe artists should be paid for their work and protect themselves. We charge for files for that reason, and don’t allow reselling, using for AI training, or re-uploading for free. All these uses require a commercial license. Feel free to contact Pixili if you’re interested.
  • Q: How are Pixel Boxes dyslexia-friendly?
    As someone with dyslexia, I developed this system along with my love for character design to fill a gap. Clear boxes are just too chaotic, showing how messy I really am. And labels are small, hard to read and write, especially if you have dyslexia. Our visual system makes labels unnecessary. You don’t need to read to find what you’re looking for, whether it’s a dog, cat, or monkey. Pixel Boxes are organized and easily recognizable, with optional labels we call name badges for those who want them.
  • Q: How are Pixel Boxes kid-friendly?
    They look cute, are fun little characters, and are essentially toys to store things in, potentially making clean-up part of the fun. They also fit in with pixel trends popular with kids (of all ages!), like Minecraft. However, please note that Pixel Boxes can currently contain small parts and require assembly and glue, which isn’t ideal for (very) young children. We’re experimenting with kid-friendly one-piece designs, and some digital downloads include them. Know that we do consider them art pieces, so we ask parents or guardians to be safe, read the safety disclaimer, and decide for themselves if it’s right for their child.
  • Q: How much filament does 1 Pixel Box use?
    An average 10x10x10 Pixel Box uses between 100-150 grams of filament, depending on the model.
  • Q: What are the recommended print settings for Pixel Boxes?
    Pixel Boxes are designed to be easy 3D prints. We recommend using a 15% infill for optimal strength and efficiency. In most cases, the standard layer height settings you use for other prints should work perfectly. For the best aesthetic results, consider setting the seam position to the back.
  • Q: Do you offer any kind of warranty or customer support for the digital files?
    We’ve got your back! As always, smiles are guaranteed. If you encounter any issues, please check out our no-nonsense return policy, where we delve into the complexities of digital file returns and explain why we offer this unique guarantee.
  • Q: What if I have questions about the files or printing process?
