Bonowi high-security handcuff key

I'm a lockpick hobbyist at heart and everyone who knows me will tell you I'm passionate about 3D printing, so it's no surprise that I get excited when these two fields intersect. For years, I've carried Ray's Dutch police handcuff key on my keychain as an example of 3D-printed technology (check out http://blackbag.nl/?p=940 and Thing 5420 linked to the right). So, when I saw that he'd done it again and posted the file for the Chubb key on Thingiverse, I was naturally pumped. Take a look at this article from Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/07/16/hacker-opens-high-security-handcuffs-with-3d-printed-and-laser-cut-keys/. You can also see the original file on Thing 28480 in this thing's ancestry. However, Ray chose not to share a copy of the Bonowi style key; he only posted the Chubb (also linked at right). I figured this was my chance to try creating some "verboten" keys. This is my version of Ray's Bonowi style high-security handcuff key. It's been reverse-engineered from photographs and hasn't been tested, so it's likely that I don't have 100% accurate dimensions, and as a functional key, this may not work at all. But I had a blast making it and it was a great opportunity to try out Tinkercad. Instructions: I haven't tested this in a real-world handcuff because I don't have access to one and I'm not planning on getting any. While I'd love to say that it works, I don't have any way to verify this. This thing was designed in Tinkercad - here's the link to the source if you want to make adjustments: http://s.reid.at/MzgNVY
