3D Wallet Generator

This project helps you design and export 3D-printable wallets, similar to paper wallets (but they won't die in a flood)

Everyone who's seriously serious about bitcoin has tried paper wallet generators. While the idea is great, paper isn't a great medium out of which to make something that stores significant value. With this in mind, we set out to make a simple, easy-to-use software that can design and export 3D-printable wallets, with a variety of configuration options.

Dependencies

• Python3: this project is designed for Python3, not Python2
• PyBitcoin, sudo pip3 install bitcoin (no manual installation required)
• PyQRCode, sudo pip3 install pyqrcode (no manual installation required)
• OpenSCAD 2015 (or higher), just install from their website, and the program should find it automatically (submit an issue if it doesn't) - (manual installation required)

Features

• Supports a variety of configuration and size options
• Exports wallets as STL
• Export keys as CSV-file for import into other software (for big batches)
• Set the configuration and let it generate millions of random wallets for you

• Support for other cryptocurrencies, including:

  • Bitcoin
  • Litecoin
  • Dogecoin
  • Any other currency (as long as you know the version bit for address generation)

Instructions

1. Install pip

   • Windows: download from their website
   • Mac: install from MacPorts or Brew
   • Linux (Ubuntu/Debian): sudo apt-get install python3-pip

2. Install OpenSCAD

   • Download from their website
   • Make sure you are running their newest version (or at least OpenSCAD 2015)
   • Contact us if you need help.

3. Install our package

   • Try: sudo pip3 install 3d-wallet-generator
   • If it continues to fail, shoot us an email and we'll try to help.

4. Use our package

   • Run 3dwallet -h to see your options
   • Try the default settings by running 3dwallet - it will output five wallets, with the default settings, into a folder in your current directory.
   • Play with the other settings and decide how your printer, CNC, etc. likes the different styles.
   • Film it or take a picture, and give it to us! We'll add it to our collection!

We recommend you run the Linux version off of a LiveUSB for maximum security (just as you would with a normal paper wallet).

Miscellaneous

• If you have any comments, questions, or feature requests, either submit an issue or contact us at [email protected]
• We always accept donations at 1MF7hKShzq2iSV9ZZ9hEx6ATnHQpFtM7cF!! Please donate, this project took a bunch of effort and we want to make sure it was worth it.

To Do / Features Coming Soon

• Add pictures
• Add option to import your own addresses/private keys
• Offset the white in the QR code (instead of just offsetting the black)
• If you want any of these developed faster, send us a gift to our donation address above.

3d-wallet-generator's Issues

Parse error when running

Not getting any STL output.

$ ./3DGen.py -co 1
Status: Done generating data for wallet #1...Starting generating STL file
Parser error in line 5: syntax error

Status: Done generating STL file (100% done)

Using OpenSCAD version 2014.01.29 on Ubuntu

Add a image of an actual wallet to README (or other place)

I accidentally came across your repo. It is my understanding that these generate physical wallets? If so, it would be nice to see an image to understand what executing the code produces.

Suggestion: Add some images to your README showing the outcome

Great project! In order to garner interest (and stars) quickly I'd suggest updating your README.md with some images of the final printed build. Yes, I know you're exposing private keys but it'll help people to get on board faster.
