3D model description

March 26, 2022 Replaced Base Receiver with more tolerance for mounting to base. The original was very tight and did not have any room for variance as noted by user. Thank you for the notice.
November 12, 2021 Replaced Base Receiver due to error in file located by Steve 758 on Thingiverse. Thank you for the catch.

July 15, 2021 REVISED.... The original design was removed and replaced with the new Base and Receiver. The new Base tower is wider and and has two pre-made holes. This will give more strength and avoid breaking. Also, the two holes can be used to install two 2 inch screws if needed for extra strength. The pixel Receiver has been separated from the base. It will need to be installed using four 3/4 inch screws. This has been done to make it easier to redesign and reprint the receiver as needed. The receiver has also been lowered due to pixels received in 2021 being inconsistent in height, only 1mm to 2mm but, this caused an issue in pushing the pixel all the way through.

Why created - Project for Pixel Pusher used with bullet or square pixels.

I wanted a pixel pusher that could be used without a drill press but worked similar to a drill press. This design allows users to have a bullet and square press pixel pusher that can be made with a hand drill. No drill press needed.
