Check out this BTC wallet that can hold up to 12 or 24 words, all generated based on the BIP39 standard. You can grab the binary version of each word from the GitHub btc repository, and I've dropped the link in the description too. Super handy for travel since it’s 3D-printed, so metal detectors won’t pick it up. It's about the size of a credit card, so it fits right into your wallet. To make the holes, just use a nail or any pointy metal tool; you can use a hammer, but any sturdy object that won't break will do the trick. Binary model link 1248 model link Here's an image of the binary 12 words model. And here's the 24 words 1248 card model.

I love that it’s 3D-printed and easy to carry. It’s great for keeping your BTC secure, especially in places like airports.

All I see is a card with holes in it. How would you write a seed word with holes?

It's no replacement for the main wallet, which should ideally be engraved on metal, but these are convenient, as you said, for airports, creating multisig wallets, and lightning wallets. There’s no issue if you make a mistake while punching holes either, just print another one.

Using a nail. The card-shaped wallet follows the 1248 pattern, while the square one uses the binary pattern. You can check the official Bitcoin repository on GitHub, where there’s a list with the index equivalent for each BIP39 word, which you then engrave on the wallet. The second photo in the links on the Thingiverse page provides instructions on how to use it."

Have you tried it? Is it safe? Can you give me the address where you bought it?

The 12 words version is good because there's a key chain hole on the corner, it help you to know the orientation. But, the 24 words version has no exact orientation because the key chain hole are in both top and bottom, you can be confused because it's the same when you rotate it 180°. Honestly I really like the 12 words design, it looks simple and doesn't make people think there's a something behind that.

One question for me to rise is - why do you need a wallet with the words.. On it? And how it is used in general? I just missed the train in terms of physical wallets.. But I would be glad to read into it.

It's a bit tricky, but you can still easily find the correct orientation by checking the left side... If it begins with a set of two circles [as opposed to four circles], you're holding the 3D-printed seed storage in the proper orientation, and for the upside-down issue, the concave part of the circles is the front side.

Don't know but I believe this thread fits best at bitcoin technical discussions board: Here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0 I believe the thread will gain more visibility on that board rather than the bitcoin discussion board that it exists currently, I suggest that the thread be moved. Unless otherwise because I may be wrong also, but most importantly you the ops should check to see we're this thread fit into.

They're free, mate. If you don't have a 3D printer, reach out to a friend who does and share the file. If none of your friends have a 3D printer, there are plenty of people who offer printing services. If they're charging you more than a few cents for each wallet, they're not being honest with you. Yeah, it works perfectly. It's an extra layer of description beyond the 12/24 words. I gave away lots of them last Bitcoin events I attended, and everyone liked it.

My apologies, Mr. Moderator. I'm new to the forum and didn't know how to match the type of post with the content I shared. Will an administrator handle the transfer, or do I, as the post owner, need to do it? I don't know how, but if you confirm, I'll learn how to transfer it.

I prefer to use this one over the binary model [or as you've labeled it, BitSafe] for storing a 12-word seed phrase, but there's a small mistake in the provided sample [the BIP39 word for 512 is divide]. BTW, what kind of filament do you recommend for someone not worried about going through airport security?
