3D Printing with Gabriel and Urban | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 39 In this episode of Freedom Tech Friday, hosts Q, Max, and Seth are joined by Gabriel Custodiet and Urban Hacker from Watchman Privacy to explore 3D printing as a critical freedom technology. The conversation is tailored for beginners, arguing that a 3D printer is an essential tool for circumventing fragile supply chains, creating custom tools and replacement parts, and building self-sufficiency in an increasingly controlled world. The guests walk through the hardware landscape, strongly recommending the Elegoo Centauri Carbon (~$300) as the ideal starter machine for its open-source friendliness, offline capability, and modern features like auto-leveling. They issue stark warnings against closed ecosystems like Bambu and FlashForge, which rely on cloud connectivity, lock users into proprietary slicers, and have signaled a willingness to censor what can be printed. Gabriel shares a cautionary tale about ultra-cheap legacy printers like the Creality Ender 3, explaining how poor assembly, dangerous outdated firmware, and frustrating workflows can kill a beginner's motivation before they even start. The episode covers the full printing pipeline: sourcing vetted models from sites like Printables, processing them through the open-source slicer called Cura, and dialing in key beginner settings like infill density and print speeds. Urban and Gabriel also address the leap from downloading trinkets to designing custom functional parts, acknowledging the mechanical engineering learning curve while pointing to Blender and YouTube tutorials as accessible offline tools. On materials, the guests strongly advocate for PLA as the default filament due to its low toxicity and reliability, contrasting it with more demanding and dangerous materials like resin. They also have an honest conversation about the economics of 3D printing — acknowledging that mass-produced items from China are often cheaper, but arguing that the real value lies in keeping your manufacturing skills sharp and your independence intact.

Currently available for 0.025 Pool Remixing using my Ashigaru Terminal on Fart9 🔥. Due to the new packaging requirements of the upcoming Start9 release I don't think you'll see it around the v3.6 marketplace any time soon. But, I am working on getting into 4.0 Beta as quick as I can. Here is the v3.6 release I've made that you can sideload:

It runs the same as the Sparrow Webtop.

Why is it that the same people that were spinning retards out about OP_Return are now doing the same thing with denominations? 🤔

Best work Bitcoin Core has done in years

After a long wait we are ready to release our first presentation that can be used by anyone for their local bitcoin meetups. It's called ASHIGARU BASICS - Make a testnet wallet & connecting to a dojo - Get your first testnet coins from a faucet - Follow and Connect to a Paynym - Make your first BIP47 transaction This presentation can be a lecture or an interactive experience with provided materials. And getting testnet transactions under new users belts can be a confidence improving exercise for those new to bitcoin and how wallets work. We look forward to making more of these in the future and hope that @WebWipeMeDown has success with it at @PubKey on May 1st for the Pubkey Privacy Meetup. PPT Version:

WHY IS @HRF NOT PAYING OUT BOUNTY #9 TO STACK WALLET? Currently, there is a bounty for a FROST Multisig Wallet implementation in the amount of 1 BTC. Stack Wallet started work, in September 2023, on a FROST multisig wallet implementation and has had a compliant version in their app since February of this year (first discussed on @Ungovernable Misfits The Bitcoin Brief on May 22/2024). They applied for the bounty, which originally was 2 BTC. But, was changed to 1 BTC upon them submitting their application. Since then, it has been 8 months. I have followed up with @gladstein in another thread, but there has been no response. Where's the transparency in the process? Stack Wallet is a terrific product that works on support from donations, fees from an in-app service and bounties such as this and the fact that this bounty has been slow rolled to this extent is getting quite suspicious. Everyone that sees this should download Stack Wallet and do this process: 1. Create a new self-custodial Bitcoin FROST wallet with a 2nd signer (friend or another device) 2. Modify the signer set without moving funds to a new address If you can do that, then let @gladstein, @ck and @HRF know that they can dispense the bounty.

Currently using nostrudel on @Sir Spencer - Wolf of KC 🐺 's recommendation. Great stuff
