Key cover hearts (remix)

Key cover hearts (remix) This remix is based on light974's key cover. I give credit to them first and foremost. I simply added an image. Original source link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1980336 Use this model for your round keys, paint it if you don't want to use different materials. The model light974 uploaded has a scad file; this way you can adjust the size of the key cover. I'm not capable of making a scad file. So this is a one-size file. But you can tweak around with the dimensions in several programs. Some are 123D design (free) and meshmixer (free). If you download these kinds of programs, you can easily adjust the x,y,z size to match your round-key. I printed this model in white Ultimaker PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.1mm layer height. I used 20% infill. I did use a brim. I placed the model on my platform with the curve at the top (just the way it appears in your slicer). Design process I used this video for making a 2d picture into a 3d model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6cmClwLhz8 (video is under 6 min.). 2D to 3D in Blender Use this link to download blender for free: https://www.blender.org/download/ Use this link to download inkscape for free: https://inkscape.org/nl/download/ What did I do? I picked a logo from my browser and have put it in svg format in inkscape. Opened the svg file in blender and made it a 3D object. In meshmixer, I repaired the file; erased some aspects. Then, I merged the key cover with the image after scaling the picture. Saved it as a STL file and sliced it for printing. Because the model still had some issues even after repairing it in meshmixer; I decided to export it into Netfabb Online Service. This is an app I discovered recently after using MakePrintable. Since MakePrintable only gives us 3 procedures of fixing an STL file, with Netfabb Online Service the frequency of STL fix procedures is unlimited, my choice was clear. It worked well for me and I could slice the model without any problems. Enjoy! Raimon
