SOURCE

Everything starts as a block of voxels. Make one from a shape, an image, text, or an existing 3D file.

Drops any mesh onto the voxel grid — this is how you "pixelate" a model you already own. Dropping a file anywhere on the viewport works too.

SCULPT

Click the model to edit it. Left-drag orbits, so hold Shift (or pick a tool below) to paint.

TOOL

brush size 1

shape

PAINT · adds a voxel against the face you click.

COLOUR multi-material

custom

Colours become separate objects on export, so a slicer can assign a filament / AMS slot per colour.

OPERATIONS

HOLLOW saves filament

wall (voxels) 2

add drain hole

PRINTABILITY CHECK

Every test below is run on the real voxel data — nothing here is a guess or a stock number.

SHOW ON MODEL

PLA · MACHINE & MATERIAL

These drive the printability maths and the slicer profile export. Defaults are safe starting points for generic PLA on a bed-slinger.

EXPORT

Voxel faces are welded into a watertight mesh, then written out. Nothing leaves your PC.
