Inside the initial link in the Italian forum discussion, I left a script based on circles with a video, but I think it’s possible to optimize it to do what you showed in the picture.
@RiccardoMajewski helped me; he would definitely know how to optimize the script to recreate this kind of pixel art paintings.

@CADARTZ I made a checkerboard frame like in the photo you showed me, I will print it in 3D and color it to make a picture for my home, in the meantime I’ll share the script
Pixels heights from images_quadro x stampa (0).gh (2.5 MB)
starting with this if anyone has any better tutorial please link 
we are two beginners, don’t worry! 
I try to learn a little from other people’s scripts and tutorials… I’m absolutely not a Grasshopper expert, half the time I’m surprised when a script works

i like the interface so far reminds me of material graph editors in keyshot/maya
this may be useful for you to know, I started from here for the interface
@CADARTZ in the Italian forum, Riccardo gave me some advice to improve the boolean difference, I share the updated script.
When I 3D print the square with the tubes, of course, their height will be smaller because it’s not nice to have them visible.

added offsets between one tile and another for printing tolerance

Thank you will try it out soon
finished print, now I have to color them by hand, but I was already thinking of doing a bigger job of doing a UV print, I already know how to set everything up because I have already used these industrial UV printers

As a test, let’s say it’s fine; the tolerance with the printer and the thickness of the color need to be optimized, but for now, it’s more than fine.
man i need to buy a printer so bad
here, you will find an example of a slightly larger project that I did with the printer (elegoo)
there are always the same brand at much lower prices
elegoo is resin printer right? i like the print resolution on them, that neptune 4 max looks nice ive been looking at bamboo A1 mini to
I have a filament printer, but there are also resin printers. Oh yes, Bamboo brand printers are excellent choices anyway.
