Customizable Six Cylinder Kwikset House Key

thingiverse

This is an updated version of my customizable house/padlock key generator available at thingiverse.com/thing:52761. This model prints only 6 cylinder Kwikset standard house keys. A simplified design makes it easier to work with, and I have improved the way the key is cut to better match real key specifications. A layout showing key depth cutting specs can be found at lsamichigan.org/Tech/Kwikset_KeySpecs.pdf, but unfortunately, it doesn't include channel cutout specs. If anyone knows where these specs are available, I would love to modify the generator accordingly. The program is limited to 7 (1-7) cutting steps as per specifications, and it does not currently support MACS restrictions, which are 4 for this type of key. Additionally, no numbers or text will be printed on the key if the "polygon count" is set to 3, 4, or 5. I have not yet tested this model; it's based solely on the key specifications I've found. A Customizable Five Cylinder version of this key can be seen at thingiverse.com/thing:3067007.
