Introduction 

Do you wish to showcase your musical taste or share your favorite Spotify tracks in a unique way? Our project introduces a Python script that transforms any Spotify song or album URL into a bespoke 3D-printable keychain, complete with a scannable Spotify code. Simply input your chosen Spotify URL, and our script will do the rest, creating a customized keychain design that resonates with your musical identity. 

How to Use 

Download 

You can download the script either from the attached files or clone it from our GitHub repository at https://github.com/ricdigi/spotify_keychain_3D_model. Ensure you download all necessary files. 

Setup and Execution

Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment 

Set up a virtual environment in the project folder. We recommend using Python version 3.9.6, which has been tested with our code. If you haven't installed this Python version, please do so first. Open a terminal window in the project folder and execute: 

virtualenv env -p python3.9.6

Step 2: Activate the Virtual Environment

Activate the newly created environment:

source env/bin/activate

You should now see (env) preceding your terminal command prompt, indicating the environment is active.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Run the Script

Execute main.py:

python main.py

When prompted, paste the desired Spotify URL (artist, album, song, or playlist). The script will then generate an STL file of the custom keychain in the project folder called: model.stl.

Note: The first execution may take a few seconds to prompt for the link, so please be patient.

Printing Instructions

You can use whatever material and dimension you prefer, but be sure to print the model in two different colors for the base and the barcode. You can achieve this with both a single material printer, by scheduling a mid-print filament change, or on a multi-material printer.
