This pixel panel consists of pivoting 2-color tiles that can be flipped to create pixel art. The unlike my first pixel panel, these hexagonal tiles lend themselves to more organic designs. I've included a stylus for poking at the tiny tiles to flip them, and also a stand/frame to display your panel.The pixels are 5mm across and the whole panel is only 2mm thick. By executing a filament color change halfway through, each pixel ends up with contrasting colors on each side.This is a challenging print in that the clearances are tight and the little pivot pins are tiny. This really needs to be printed on a printer with mesh bed leveling, well tuned pressure advance, and a direct drive extruder. (Bowden extruders can struggle with tiny details.) I've included a small test patch that you should print first to make sure your tiles will pivot before printing the whole enchilada, Print in PLA with 0.2mm layers and a 0.4mm nozzle or smaller. Change to a contrasting filament mid-print after 5 laye
