key buoy

thingiverse

These are custom ignition key floats I designed for my boat engines. Modeled after green and red coast guard navigation buoys, they feature an internal framework allowing them to print without support while maintaining enough buoyancy for one or multiple ignition keys and a printable clip. The printable clip file can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:221727. I secured the key by looping it on a hair tie, then threading a monofilament line through the center hole of the buoy, creating a reliable and visually appealing solution.
