Art to print

Wall art tiles

One pattern that runs across a whole wall of tiles. Lay out the wall, pick a pattern, and print the tiles one by one: each fits on your print bed, and together they are a piece as big as you like.

Making the wall…

  • The ZIP holds a file per tile, the keys, a hanging plan and a how-to.
  • One tile per print, back on the bed, 0.2 mm layers, 15% infill, no supports.
  • The number and the arrow on the back of a tile show where it goes and which way is up.

Good to know

How do the tiles line up on the wall?

Every tile has its number and an arrow that points up on the back, and the ZIP has a plan that shows where each number goes. With alignment keys on, two tiles that touch share a small flat key in a pocket in the back: it keeps their edges in line, so the pattern runs on from one tile to the next.

How do I hang them?

Three ways. A flat back for double-sided mounting strips, which leaves no holes in the wall. A keyhole for a screw with a head up to 9 mm. Or pockets for 10 x 2 mm magnets, for a steel board or a magnetic wall.

How do I print two colours?

With one filament change. The second colour starts at the same height on every tile, so the high parts of the pattern get it on all of them. The how-to in the ZIP gives the height. The 3MF files have the change in them for PrusaSlicer; in Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer you add a pause at that height.

Do the tiles need supports?

No. A tile is a flat plate with the relief on top, printed with its back on the bed. Use 0.2 mm layers, 2 walls and 15% infill.

How big can the wall be?

Up to 37 hexagons or 35 squares, each 60 to 240 mm. With 150 mm hexagons a honeycomb of 19 tiles is about 75 cm across. Tiles up to 150 mm fit a 180 mm bed; the biggest need a 256 mm bed such as the Bambu Lab A1.

Can I add tiles later?

Yes. The link in the address bar keeps your whole design. Open it again, click more places in the planner and download: the new tiles carry on the same pattern, and the tiles you already printed stay the same.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no upload: the tiles are made on your own device. The files are free for personal use.
