🖨️ Easy & Optimized Printing

Designed to be fast and frustration-free, regardless of your 3D printer setup.

----------

General Settings: No brim required! Fast print with Hyper PLA works perfectly. Use 15% infill with 2 or 3 walls. You can use tall layer heights without losing any detail.

----------
Multicolor Printers: Use the .3mf file to print as a complete piece. Tip: Print objects in sequence (one color at a time) to save massive amounts of filament "poop"!

----------
Single-Color Printers: Multicolor parts are cleanly separated. Simply print the colors individually and assemble the blocks in post-processing.

----------
Supports: Only standard horizontal pins usually need supports (the holes are just bridges and print perfectly). Want zero supports? Choose our Ultimate versions!

----------

Layers can be tall, you will not lose details, go fast and enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------

📖 Key Terms & Differences
To help you choose the right file and understand the magic behind the generation, here is a quick guide to how the models are built:

----------

Standard Playground: A massive single-piece layout, but with separated parts for easy color assignment. (Big castle features extra boolean tools).

----------

Voxels: Think of them as 3D pixels. Building your world block by block! Supportless if you use wave overhang settings. Separate objects before slicing.

----------
Bricks: Multiple voxels merged together into larger shapes. This guarantees fewer parts to assemble, a faster build time, and a smarter, seamless look. Supportless if you use wave overhang settings. Separate objects before slicing.

----------
Puzzle Sets: Models broken down into individual, connectable parts for you to assemble. By using the VOXL Regolith app, you have total freedom: export any model as a single solid piece, as individual voxels, or as puzzle sets (voxels or bricks). You can even customize the joints: choose between squared pins, rounded pins, supportless pins, or dowels! Supportless if you use wave overhang settings or the ultimate or supportless versions. Separate objects before slicing.

----------

Supportless: Easy to print, fewer parts to assemble. Completely supportless (horizontal pins might require a drop of glue).

----------
The "Ultimate" Version (🏆 The Best Choice!): The ultimate, glue-free, support-free experience! This version uses custom 3D-printable dowels to connect all pieces horizontally, guaranteeing a perfect mechanical fit without extra post-processing.

----------

_Colors_: Thanks to VOXL's smart "Export by Color" feature, you can easily print a stunning multicolor model by printing each color batch separately. It is the perfect way to test the system quickly and see the magic for yourself! Currently available for the Medium and Tiny version only! I have pre-divided this mini model by color into separate .stl files so you can run a super fast test right away. I used fast PLA (200mms-300mms).

--------------------------------------------------

VOXL Regolith will convert any project into a smart puzzle set with just a clic! You can create your own castle too from zero to print!

DEV NOTES:

I will improve the UI of the app :) I was making something that feels physical and a bit nostalgic but that will look like a videogame too! Early bird version is functional by the way!

----------

UPDATES: I worked again on the voxels puzzle versions and now there are a new versions with a single base piece :) (not necessary but easier).
