Why Flat Prints Fall Short
Posters fade. Canvas prints blend into the background. If you have spent years stacking sats and running your own node, the art on your wall should carry the same weight as your conviction. Flat prints of the Bitcoin logo — the kind you find on generic dropship sites — do not communicate anything about the culture, the ethos, or the sheer technical beauty of what this technology represents.
We build mining hardware. We repair ASICs. We hack institutional-grade machines into home-friendly heaters. And when we looked at the Bitcoin art market, we saw the same problem we see everywhere else: mass-produced, low-effort products sold to a community that deserves better.
That is why we started producing 3D filament paintings — real, physical, textured art pieces that you can feel with your fingers. Not inkjet prints behind glass. Not AI-generated images slapped onto stretched canvas. Actual layered craftsmanship, manufactured in Canada, designed by Bitcoiners for Bitcoiners.
What Is 3D Filament Painting?
A 3D filament painting is a layered art piece created by depositing PLA (polylactic acid) filament in successive passes to build a relief surface. Each layer adds physical depth — shadows are real shadows, contours are actual contours, and the surface catches light differently depending on your viewing angle.
The process works like this:
- Design — The artwork is modeled as a multi-layer relief, with each color zone assigned to a specific height and filament path.
- Layer-by-layer fabrication — PLA filament is deposited in precise passes. Background layers go down first, followed by mid-ground detail, then foreground elements that stand proud of the surface.
- Color mapping — Different filament colors are swapped at calculated layer boundaries, producing gradients and color transitions without any paint or post-processing.
- Framing — Each piece is finished in a frame and arrives ready to hang. No assembly required.
The result is something between a painting and a sculpture. It has the visual impact of wall art with the tactile presence of a relief carving. PLA is a plant-derived thermoplastic — durable, lightweight, and dimensionally stable. These pieces will not warp, crack, or degrade under normal indoor conditions.
Every painting we produce is 3D printed in Canada at our facility. This is not outsourced. This is not dropshipped. Like our mining hardware, it is built in-house.
D-Central’s Bitcoin Art Collection
Our 3D painting lineup covers the full spectrum of Bitcoin culture — from the bullish energy of the market to the cypherpunk rebellion at its core. Each piece tells a story that resonates with the community.
Bitcoin Charging Bull
The iconic Wall Street bull, reimagined in Bitcoin orange. This piece captures the raw momentum of the bull market with raised contours that catch light across the bull’s muscular form. A statement piece for anyone who understands that Bitcoin’s price action is merely a side effect of its unstoppable adoption.

The Bitcoin Moon
“To the moon” is not just a meme — it is a conviction about where sound money ultimately goes when measured against infinite fiat expansion. This painting renders the lunar surface in layered detail with the Bitcoin symbol embedded in the composition, creating a piece that works equally well in a living room or a home office.

Bitcoin Pizza
May 22, 2010: 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. The most expensive meal in history, and the most important transaction in Bitcoin’s early adoption story. This painting immortalizes Bitcoin Pizza Day with vivid filament layers — a perfect conversation starter and a reminder of how far the network has come.

Sons of Bitcoin
Dark, gritty, and unapologetically rebellious. Inspired by the outlaw aesthetic, this piece channels the decentralized ethos of Bitcoin — no leaders, no hierarchy, just a protocol that cannot be stopped. Deep purples, reds, and blacks layered into a composition that looks like it was forged in the same fire as the Genesis Block.

Bitcoin Skeleton
Memento mori meets sound money. The skeleton is a reminder that fiat currencies die — every single one of them, eventually — while Bitcoin endures. This piece layers bone-white relief over dark backgrounds for a dramatic, high-contrast result that commands attention on any wall.

Canadian Bitcoin Truckers of Liberty
A uniquely Canadian piece that commemorates the intersection of Bitcoin and the freedom movement. When traditional payment rails were frozen, Bitcoin proved its censorship-resistant nature in real time. This painting captures that moment with layered trucks, flags, and the unmistakable orange of Bitcoin cutting through the composition.

The Bitcoin Matriarch
Elegant, powerful, and commanding. This piece celebrates the women of Bitcoin — the developers, the educators, the miners, and the community builders who have been fundamental to the network since day one. Rich color layering and fine filament detail create a portrait that radiates strength and sophistication.

Rick and Bitcoin
Wubba lubba dub dub — but make it sound money. This irreverent piece merges pop culture with Bitcoin culture in classic purple, cyan, and white tones. For the Bitcoiner who does not take themselves too seriously but takes their monetary sovereignty very seriously.

Rick’s Bitcoin Awakening
The post-apocalyptic companion piece. Red, orange, and black filament layers create a darker, more intense version of the Rick-meets-Bitcoin crossover. This one is for the Bitcoiner who has been through bear markets, exchange collapses, and fork wars — and is still here, still stacking.

Bitaxe Block 853742
This piece holds a special place in our collection. Block 853742 was mined by a solo miner running a Bitaxe — an open-source mining device that we have been manufacturing and supporting since the beginning. A single Bitaxe, running at a fraction of the network hashrate, found a full block. This painting commemorates that moment in blue and black layered relief. If you believe in solo mining, if you believe every hash counts, this is the piece for your wall.

Bitcoin Alice
Down the rabbit hole — literally. This whimsical piece captures the moment every Bitcoiner recognizes: the point of no return when you start understanding what decentralized, censorship-resistant money actually means. Vivid PLA craftsmanship and enchanting detail make this one of the most visually striking pieces in the lineup.

The Bitcoin Bull
A different take on the bull motif. Where the Charging Bull captures momentum and movement, The Bitcoin Bull is a portrait — a study of the animal itself, layered and textured, radiating quiet power. Two bull paintings, two different energies, both unmistakably Bitcoin.

Crypto Lambo
The meme made physical. Whether you think the Lambo dream is aspirational or ironic, this piece captures the cultural moment with precision filament work and dramatic composition. A supercar rendered in layered PLA, because some memes deserve more than a JPEG.
Where to Display Bitcoin Wall Art
These pieces work in any room, but some placements hit differently:
- Home office — The most natural placement. Your workspace should reflect your values. A Bitaxe Block 853742 painting behind your desk during video calls says more than any LinkedIn banner ever could.
- Mining room — If you have a dedicated mining space — and we hope you do — these paintings complete the aesthetic. Hang the Bitcoin Uprising above your rack of ASICs.
- Living room — The Bitcoin Moon and Bitcoin Matriarch are refined enough to hold their own as focal-point art in shared living spaces. The 3D texture catches visitor attention and starts conversations.
- Man cave or workshop — Sons of Bitcoin, the Truckers of Liberty, and the Skeleton all thrive in spaces where the vibe is unapologetically Bitcoin.
- Gifting — A 3D filament painting is a far more memorable gift than another hardware wallet case or a T-shirt. For the Bitcoiner who already runs their own node and mines their own blocks, art is the gift that fills the wall, not the closet.
Care and Maintenance
PLA is one of the most stable and durable 3D printing materials available. Your painting will last for years with minimal care:
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight — PLA can soften at sustained temperatures above 60C (140F). Indoor placement away from direct sun exposure is ideal. Near a window with indirect light is fine.
- Dust with a soft brush — The layered surface can collect dust in the relief grooves over time. A soft-bristle brush or compressed air clears it quickly.
- No water or solvents — PLA does not require wet cleaning. Avoid chemical cleaners, as they can dull the filament surface.
- Stable indoor temperatures — Normal room temperature (15-25C) is perfect. PLA is dimensionally stable in this range.
- Hanging hardware included — Each piece comes framed and ready to hang. Use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (drywall, concrete, wood).
Perfect Pairings: Build a Bitcoin Wall
A single painting makes a statement. A curated wall makes a gallery. Pair your 3D paintings with other pieces from our Bitcoin decor collection:
- Bitcoin Logo Wall Plaque (Orange) — A clean, minimal Bitcoin symbol in 3D relief. Pairs well with any painting as an accent piece.
- Bitcoin Logo Wall Plaque (White) — Same design, white finish, for lighter accent walls or contrasting compositions.
- Bitcoin LED Sign — An illuminated 3D-printed Bitcoin logo powered by LED strip. Mount it beside a painting for gallery-style lighting.
- Honeybadger Wall Clock — Because the honey badger does not care about your fiat. Functional art that pairs with the irreverent pieces in the collection.
- Bitcoin Runic Wall Clock — A Bitcoin clock with Norse-inspired rune numerals. Time measured in blocks is better, but this is the next best thing.
- Bitcoin HODL Sign — A 3D desk and wall display with the four most important letters in Bitcoin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the 3D filament paintings?
Sizes vary by design. Each product page lists exact dimensions. Most pieces are in the medium to large wall art range, suitable for focal-point display.
Are these actual 3D prints or flat prints with a frame?
These are genuine 3D prints with physical depth and texture. Each layer of PLA filament adds real relief to the surface. When you run your hand across the painting, you can feel the contours. This is not a flat image behind glass.
What material are the paintings made from?
PLA (polylactic acid), a plant-derived thermoplastic. It is the most widely used material in 3D printing — lightweight, durable, and dimensionally stable at normal room temperatures. PLA does not off-gas and is considered safe for indoor use.
Are they framed and ready to hang?
Yes. Every painting ships framed with hanging hardware. Unbox, hang, done.
Can PLA paintings survive in a garage or unheated room?
PLA is stable at normal indoor temperatures (15-25C). It can handle brief dips below that range without issue. Avoid prolonged exposure above 50-60C (direct sunlight through a south-facing window in summer, for example).
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship from Canada worldwide. All paintings are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit.
Can I commission a custom Bitcoin painting?
We are always open to custom projects. Contact us with your idea and we will see what we can build.
How do these compare to traditional canvas prints?
Canvas prints are flat reproductions of 2D images. Our 3D filament paintings have genuine physical depth — raised surfaces, layered colors, and real shadows. The difference is immediately visible and tactile. Once you have seen a 3D painting in person, flat prints feel incomplete.
