A bitcoiner funded and produced, open-source film on the bitcoin protocol.
Bitcoin Blockchain up to block 836639 White and Translucent UV photo cured resin mix 3D print 212 x 66 x 65 mm #bitcoinamsterdam This resin 3D print is a model of the Bitcoin blockchain, designed based on actual Bitcoin data. The structure features a helix, with each turn representing a complete halving cycle. The spiral discs along the helix correspond to sets of 2016 blocks, which represent each difficulty adjustment period. This model effectively illustrates the key components of Bitcoin’s supply mechanism and network adjustments.
Testing wire suspension for this print of the bitcoin blockchain. This allows the viewer to inspect it up close, walk around it, and experience the record of bitcoin from their own perspective. image
Having a physical print on my hand really helps look at the blockchain of bitcoin differently. image
This test print turned out great but the overall geometry is just loosely based on real data. Preparing a new model for that will have more detail and direct proportion to the real data on the chain for a more accurate representation. image

3D printed model of the entire bitcoin blockchain - Test 1. Full detailed, block by block model of the entire chain as a reference for the radius and position of each difficulty adjustment period (spiral discs of 2016 blocks) and halving cycles (~104 discs, 210,000 blocks, one turn of the helix). Make the model watertight and reduce the amount of 3D data to a printable resolution. Geometry nodes in blender to procedurally position each difficulty adjustment circle to match the helix on reference model. Split in 2 halves at the axis of the helix to reduce the amount of support needed. Printed in white PLA and reassembled into a 17cm long piece with all purpose glue. #blender #3Dprint #bitcoin
