Physical Hive Token (3D Printed)

After 3D printing a faux Proof of Brain token it was rather inevitable that I would print a physical Hive token. Personally I think the red filament I used adds to the aesthetic qualities but I will certainly revisit this design when I start to experiment with metal-filled filament.

Just like the 3D printed Hive logo I used the hextacular vector file from the Brand Assets download section on Hive.io. Similar to the Proof of Brain token design I grouped the Hive brand asset with the blank coin model by Thingiverse user ManMommy on Tinkercad.

If you have your own 3D printer and/or want to make your own version the 3D model I made is available on Tinkercad and a .stl for 3D printing is available on Thingiverse. Both files are under a Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0 license. Sharing is caring!

The token looks awesome! This is perfect promotional material for some next HIVE Fest or any other cryptocurrency meeting... I don't have a 3D printer, but thanks for sharing in the name of others who have!


I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project and it will be highlighted in the next post!

This is very nice and I don't have a 3D printer but maybe it will be useful to me in the future.

Maybe one of your friends might eventually get a 3D printer if you don't get one first. You never know.

Lately I've been thinking about someday also getting a 3D food printer. Can you imagine a chocolate Hive token? Yuummm...👩‍🍳

How much does the production of that physical Hive token (taking into account the plastic filament, printer maintenance, and electricity) cost? 🤔

You might want to 3D print the !PIZZA and !LUV tokens! 😆😁

That's an interesting question. I don't know about the aspects like maintenance and depreciation when calculating production costs. There might be something on one of the 3D printing forums about that so I might have to go searching.

Also might make a good Hive post. Electrical cost varies by location. Without checking I'd guesstimate the ballpark figure for the cost per token for plastic filament would be roughly around $0.20-$0.30 USD.

Based on your rough estimate, you will need to set the price to $0.40 to $0.50 if ever you want to sell some of those physical tokens you printed! 🤔

Thanks for your reply! 😀

I am starting to run low on the red filament. After I run out I'll use black. Probably after that I'll try metal-filled filament so that might be a great time to print those tokens.🤑

Thank you for LUV and yummy PIZZA. Here's some !BEER.

Are red and black the most cost-efficient filaments available for (your) 3D printer? 🤔😅

That’s the incentive to get 3D printing again that I needed.
I’ll have to get some red filament

Looks awesome!
I need to get myself a 3d printer!
