Spinning Witches Key FOB

cults3d

Every Witch needs a key fob with their Broomstick keys, a fun talking point over Halloween but also appreciated by Witches all year round! Like most Key Fobs, this is purely a fun, decorative accessory. The design features a Witch on her Broomstick in the centre of a rotating ring. The Witch and outer surfaces are raised so you can have fun making it in two colors by pausing your machine mid-print (twice) and swapping the filament... this is easy to do and creates a great result. The mid section starts at 2mm build height and is 1.5mm thick, so swap filament at approx. the following build heights: First color change: Change at 1.5 - 1.8mm completed (before the centre section starts to build by bridging between the witch and the outer rings). Second color change: Swap the filament back as soon as you see the witch shape appearing above the centre bridged surface. Change at approx. 3.8 - 4.0mm completed. For members with a dual extruder machine, split files have been added for ease of printing the Witch Fob in two colors. Part A will print the bottom 1.8mm and from 3.8mm to completion. Part B will print the 2mm in between. This is a small (34mm diameter at standard scale), quick and easy print that uses very little filament (7gm with a Raft). They make great gifts and can be printed to suit any Witch's favourite colours. A well sliced file printed on a precise machine should result in a FOB with a centre section that will rotate with minimal effort required to free it up. Running a fingernail or craft knife around the groove between the inner and outer parts (refer images) is all that should be required. Applying a light lubricant in this area will help it rotate well. However, if your Fob won't rotate and you can't free it up, you can scale it up uniformly (5-10%) to increase the designed in clearances. Print one / some today to stay onside with the Witches in your household or life, or risk having a spell cast upon you! (and please post images of your Spinning Witches Key Fobs for other members to see). Refer to the images and print settings for additional information / recommendations.
