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a cautionary tale about ultra-cheap legacy printers like the Creality Ender 3, explaining how poor assembly, dangerous outdated firmware, and frustrating workflows can kill a beginner's motivation before they even start.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. https://fountain.fm/episode/RI30AxbjYBs33EUpiCr6

In that case, I would compare your codebase with bip47db using Claude or Codex and determine if the architecture is a fit 👍

Gabriel and Urban Talk 3D Printing This Week on FTF Watchman's Torch is a top notch newsletter and we are excited to have @WatchmanPrivacy and @realUrbanHacker on Freedom Tech Friday this week to talk about 3D printing. We hope you can join us at 9 AM EST/1 PM UTC on May 8th. In the meantime, grab a sub to Watchman's Torch.

BIP47DB IS LIVE A month after the white paper went live at https://bip47db.github.io, Max Tannahill has created the tool and it is live: http://bip47db.org Inscribe and browse BIP47 payment codes from your browser. Mainnet ready, fully client-side, no server to trust. The protocol whitepaper has been refined to v1.6 with community feedback, esp @MightyMercurian. If you missed the first tweet: BIP47 reusable payment codes solve real privacy problems but depend on directory services like http://paynym.rs. Those are centralised. If they go down, wallet recovery from seed alone breaks for connections you've made. Max @maxtannahill · 5h BIP47DB inscribes the directory itself onto Bitcoin. The Publisher tool walks you through inscribing a batch of payment codes: – Fetch from http://paynym.rs (or paste manually): Sign a single message with your BIP47 wallet (@AshigaruFanClub/@SamouraiWallet) – Cosign the funding tx with @SparrowWallet: Up to 5,000 codes per batch. Validates the UTXO covers fees before you sign anything. The Browse tab decodes inscriptions back into a searchable database. Anyone can sync from a @mempool API endpoint and verify every record cryptographically. There is no trust in the indexer, no trust in the publisher. The whole site is static HTML + JS. The repo is open source. The single CORS proxy he runs (for the http://paynym.rs fetch convenience) only relays one specific endpoint and rejects unknown origins. If Max disappeared tomorrow, anyone could host this themselves in an hour. The April tweet got a healthy mix of "this is cool" and "Ordinals are cancer.", and he's very grateful for all the technical feedback. As for BIP110 signallers? He doesn't care what you think. Try it at http://bip47db.org/app Read the spec at http://bip47db.org/paper Issues / PRs at http://github.com/bip47db/bip47db.github.io Mainnet inscriptions are now possible but no batches have been written yet. I'm waiting for the first one to be by the community or Ashigaru, not me. Have at it and make sure to join Freedom Tech Friday on the Ungovernable Misfits feed on May 15th @ 9 AM EST to get the full breakdown of this important tech! https://bip47db.org/

No More Martyrs | THE UNBOUNDED SERIES: Colonial I loved this episode when TBD first released it on the Unbounded Youtube channel. Now it has a forever home on the Ungovernable Misfits feed. If you haven't read Colonial and Thunder over Golgotha at [Sovereign Colony](https://sovereigncolony.com), I highly recommend it. https://fountain.fm/episode/GxMkFAKMg26LQDkSvX7p

Almost There...

Still waiting...

The Brief That Should Have Been Out Wednesday... Due to issues with the Podcast Index and the conscious decision by Fountain to choose an unconventional method of grabbing new episodes from podcasts, the new Bitcoin Brief sat in limbo waiting to appear on Fountain for 4 days. Every other podcast app had it on the Wednesday. https://fountain.fm/episode/tTJGmUTIUG9SkQrlrTvz
