Customizable Five Cylinder Kwikset House Key

thingiverse

This is an updated and simplified version of my customizable house/padlock key generator available on Thingiverse (www.thingiverse.com/thing:52761). The object prints only standard 5-cylinder Kwikset house keys. I've reduced the number of options, and I've modified how the key is "cut" to better match real key specifications. I found a layout that shows key depth cutting specs at www.lsamichigan.org/Tech/Kwikset_KeySpecs.pdf, but it doesn't have channel cutout specs. If you know where to find those specs, please let me know so I can update the generator. The program is limited to 7 (1-7) cutting steps as per specifications. Currently, it does not support any MACS restrictions, which is 4 for this type of key. Also, no numbers or text will be printed on the key if you set the "polygon count" to 3, 4, or 5. Check out object (www.thingiverse.com/thing:3079563) for a customizable six-cylinder version of this key.
