Title: GAUGING INTEREST: Mass-Produced 3D Printed Physical Bitcoin Post by: Emerge on August 18, 2015, 02:48:15 PM I have an access to a 3D printer and I was thinking of making a 3D printed Bitcoin.
Wanted to know from the community what you would like on it, and what design I could use. Or I could accept designs and 3D Print it for them. Feel free to post here any ideas or comments Regards, JM Erestain Title: Re: GAUGING INTEREST: Mass-Produced 3D Printed Physical Bitcoin Post by: OmegaStarScream on August 18, 2015, 03:00:26 PM 3D printers should read STL format as far as I know , here you go this design : http://www.mediafire.com/download/cl9buxmn03iu787/bitcoin.stl [Source : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352556.0 ]
I'am not sure how it looks like but I guess you could try and give it a shoot , if you print it please share with us the results on the topic with a screenshot ;D Title: Re: GAUGING INTEREST: Mass-Produced 3D Printed Physical Bitcoin Post by: eternalgloom on August 18, 2015, 05:26:28 PM I'd be interested depending on the price, though I recon it would be cheaper than a silver coin of similar size, right?
Cool idea for sure, I think there would be interest in something like this.

There were some mesh issues, but nothing Slic3r couldn't handle. I can't actually print it for a while, but it looks like a fair design. At low density, could be a cheap trinket to give out to raise awareness at events.

Well , have you find a good design or you are going to use the one that I provided ? I was able to see how it looks like and it's pretty simple and dosen't contain anything at all . just a 3D model Title: Re: GAUGING INTEREST: Mass-Produced 3D Printed Physical Bitcoin Post by: Emerge on August 19, 2015, 06:02:32 AM Would $20 be a good enough sale price?

If it's really beautiful and creative then people may pay whatever it takes to get it .
