Indulging in Cryptocurrencies (part 1)
Have you ever tasted cryptocurrencies? They taste amazing! At the moment they taste digital but later on they will taste like PLA and later on....who knows! ;-)
I am now officially owner of the Original Prusa printer! :-). My husband decided to give away his 3D printer to me. So now I have two printers but I am going to give away the old printer to my sons so they can practice. I am happy he gave away his Prusa 3d printer. I still can not believe that he gave it away just like that. I think he realises that I print more than he does. So I guess I am going to have more fun printing now. Both printers are located in the kitchen because the noise the printers are making.
This is going to be a large and long 3D project and that is why I have to split it in parts. This is part 1.
As usual I will begin with a 3D tutorial on Fusion 360.
Tutorial
I started with looking for images of the 5 cryptocurrencies I believe are popular. First I sketched 5 circles of 3.5 cm. This is going to be the final size. I inserted the logo of Steem, Bitcoin, Eos, Ethereum and Dash into Fusion 360. Then I retraced the logos with Spine. I also offset the circles so they won't be too simple.
The 5 logos I extruded around 1.5 cm each and smoothened the circles with 2mm using Offset.
The cryptocurrency box
For the box I sketched a rectangle of 23 cm by 6 cm.
Then I offset the rectangle with 5 mm and extruded the inner part. I also gave the box a divider and simply copy them 4 times.
I also sketched a cover for the box and the text Cryptocurrencies on top of the cover.
The text I extruded with 1.5 mm operation Cut.
I am very curious how they will look like when I can indulge them because they are very small and have many small details.
See you soon in part 2 of my post!
iv bought lobsters with money from cryptos but never tasted them native like here )
hahaha! I bought sushi with it! Thanks for checking out @kingscrown :-)
Hope that will taste good.
Have a great day and stay blessed.
That looks pretty neat. A Prusa with a 0.4mm nozzle ought to give you plenty of detail on the logos, for the most part. You might find the thickness of each coin a little much, once you have them in hand, but overall that looks like a very clean design.
Thanks @lextenebris. Yes, you are right. The coins look too thick,( I see it now) but you can have a proper bite in each coin :-D.
This is very true.
The way I figure these things is that I really only want a coin to be up about 6 mm thick if I'm going with a nozzle of 0.4 mm and a general overall width of 35 mm. That way the sides are about 1/5 or so of the width of the coin, and then if I want to do something exciting like patterned cut outs around the edge or some sort of knurling I have enough material to work with but not so much that the whole thing gets complicated and to little detail to actually print.
It's a fairly narrow path to walk.
hahaha! I guess you don't know what I'm going to make :-D. But that's good. it's a surprise then. ;-)
So great post my friend @fathin-shihab.
Crypto-delicious! :D
Yes, for sure! :-D
Extremely superb creative work. Best graphical tutorials and instructions would be help to beginners.
Now that is some real eye candy - a pleasure for the eyes and the taste buds. These could come in very handy during moments when the market is chaotic , you eat one of these and you will feel more relaxed hehe - awesome design project ! And very nice of your husband to give you this printer !
Yes, the market is looking chaotic after China's ban on Bitcoin which affects all crypto currencies. It was indeed nice of him to give it away t his wife. :-) I am a bit nervous if the end product will come as I want :-( Thank you!
It's going to be exciting to follow the process - but I have a feeling it's gonna work out real well
Its's fantastic effort @fathin-shihab.
Excellent lessons for how to create 3D cryptocurrencies.
Now that's a complete great box :D worth of millions
thank you!
details truly look amazing onto that perfect loved the steem one the most and you know it haha :)
yes, the steem one is also my favourite one ;-)
you should make for every coin you hold haha that would remain in memory :D its wonderful
That's gonna be a lot of printing hahaha!
