Keychain (Chinese love symbol)

pinshape

Hai! Check out this keychain featuring the Chinese symbol for love - you can also wear it as a pendant on your necklace! I printed this design in multi-color using a single extruder, but you can also print it with just one color. I used Ultimaker white PLA and Octofiber black PLA to give it a unique look. My printing settings included a 0.2mm layer height, 18% infill, a 0.4mm nozzle at 210 degrees Celsius, and a heated bed. I also added a skirt to ensure a smooth finish. To design this model, I started by finding an image of the Chinese Love symbol on Google, then turned it into a 3D object. If you're curious about how I did that, check out this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6cmClwLhz8 (it's under 6 minutes long!). Next, I combined the design with a keychain template and fixed any errors in the STL file using Netfabb.
