A receiving platform of the Chrono Gate experiment — your unit, your colours, built to order.

Monolit is a small black tower that stands in your home and waits: it holds a coordinate registered to you and a sensor watching for arrival. Pick the colours of its parts below — the electronics inside every unit are identical.

Why you cannot buy this yet

Batch one is not open for sale yet: its first platforms are already spoken for. Sales open once those are standing in the world. We will write about the first shipment in News — soon. Leave your address below and you will hear on the day sales open.

What it is

Each Monolit is a printed triangular tower with its own place in the experiment: a coordinate registered to you, an identity key no other unit shares, and a scale in its base that notices the instant weight appears on it. If anything is ever sent to that coordinate, this platform is what receives it — and reports the arrival. Every unit is printed, assembled and set up by hand when you order it, then joined to the global registry.

First batch

The first production run is 50 units — serials 001–050, registered permanently. First-batch units are tester units: early hardware standing in real homes, sending real feedback into the build, with software updates arriving over the air. Every unit is printed, assembled and tested to order. When batch one opens, units ship in the order they were bought.

Materials & finish

The main body is printed in SUNLU PETG (a durable 3D-printing plastic) in black; the top cap, face plates and stand body take independent PolyLite PETG colours. Surface gloss differs slightly per pigment. Colour choices are purely cosmetic — the electronics inside every unit are identical.

What ships

Each Monolit ships fully assembled and set up:

  • Assembled triangular tower in the colours you chose
  • Receiver electronics: a small computer (Raspberry Pi Zero 2W), a paper-like display and a battery
  • Wireless receiver coil and levitation magnets, pre-installed
  • Software pre-installed; on first start the unit opens its own WiFi network and walks you through setup
  • Sticker pack and packaging emblems

Monolit and the base

Every Monolit carries its wireless receiver coil and levitation magnets from the factory. Today it charges over USB-C and stands on its passive stand. The powered Stand Base is being built now: it holds the Monolit floating between two columns and charges it through the air. When it ships, the same unit is already ready for it — nothing to upgrade, nothing to send back.
