Info:
- for simple keys with round base
- for keys with dimensions of the round part:
- diameter: 23 mm (or less)
- thickness: 2,3 mm (or less)
- designed to be tight, so it does not slip away
- in Blender you can easily use different text (if you are familiar with this program)
- there is set mirror modifier, so the text is on both sides mirrored and at the center
- see below for details
- there is set mirror modifier, so the text is on both sides mirrored and at the center
Other key base dimensions or shapes:
- can be just scaled for base with different size of round base (scale X+Z)
- also you can scale it for elyptical base (scale X axis more)
- or different thickness (scale Y)
Print instructions:
- easy print, no supports
- the wall is thick for exactly 2 perimeters (for 0.4mm nozzle)
- i have used 0.2mm high layers, but you can set less in slicer for nicer results
Texts:
- if you want own text on the print, negative text volume should be deep ½ of the wall thickness (so there will remain 1 perimeter for the rest of the wall)
- How to in Blender:
- check my model in blender, locate the element “TEXT”, edit it & insert your own text
- then you need to convert it to mesh (Object → Convert → Mesh)
- locate element “sides”, locate its “Modifier properties” (tool icon), locate “Boolean text” modifier and set it to field “Object” → select “TEXT” in list box
- hide “TEXT” element and you should see given text as negative volume on both sides
- hit A, F4, E, T (in dialog check Selected only) → for exporting STLÂ
- Other possibilites:
- or create text STL in some other program and use it in slicer directly (put it in the wall to the half of its thickness) as negative volume
