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.

More detail, real data, fixed overlapping mesh and manifold issues

Wide lens

Having a physical print on my hand really helps look at the blockchain of bitcoin differently.

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.

Good one!

Thank you for your support!

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.
