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.
