Lifeguard Tube Keychain

thingiverse

I am a lifeguard who takes pride in my work. Not many people have keychains that represent their role, so I created one. After searching, I found only one keychain featuring a lifeguard buoy, but it's not for pool guards like me - we use tubes on the job. So, I made a model of the standard lifeguard tube and scaled it down to 3/32 size. My goal was to replicate its exact shape as closely as possible. I've created two STL files: one with text recessed (Lifeguard_Tube_Recessed.stl) for those using single-color filament, and another with raised text (Lifeguard_Tube_Raised.stl) for multi-colored prints. The recessed file is suitable for those with limited color options, while the raised file allows users to create a two-tone effect by pausing the print at a specific layer to change filaments. Using red and white colors is recommended as they match the actual lifeguard tube's design. However, feel free to experiment with other colors like green or blue if you prefer.
