Title: 3D Printing Metal Bitcoins - Kinda Vool
Post by: Rob768 on November 09, 2014, 06:21:27 PM
Thought this was cool.  They use a regular $1400 3D printer to print out actual bronze coins which look like Bitcoins.  Of course they have no value but I'd take one for a few bucks:

Yeah... It's a little cool. You could make key chains out of them or something.

I am always interested in printing my own bitcoin. I don't have a 3D printer but this filament looks interesting. The final print still look plastic though. It would be great it it takes more of a shine.

Affordable 3D printing with metal isn't far off:
