Customizable Batch Keychain Generator

thingiverse

February 2015 saw an update to the keychain generator, adding two new styles: Blocky and Round Tag. This addition came about due to a need for quick customizable models for a 3D printer demo. The generator is optimized for use with Customizer but also works well in OpenSCAD, particularly when internet access is limited. It can produce up to nine keychains, each of which can feature up to three characters. Initials of demo participants were the intended use, allowing each person to leave with a personalized keychain. Printing time for one keychain is approximately six minutes; a full set of nine takes 46 minutes on a Replicator 2X. Each keychain measures about 1.5 x 0.75 inches due to their speedy printing design, but they should scale well if you prefer larger giveaways. To use the generator, simply open it in Customizer, select the desired number of keychains, and input up to three characters per keychain before printing and distributing!
