Toyota/Lexus 3 Button Remote Key Case/Shell

thingiverse

Dad noticed his car keys' plastic had cracked and asked if I could print a replacement. "Yes, people have already made these," I said, showing him some designs. However, I needed to make adjustments for Dad's car. The panic and unlock buttons are symmetrical, so adding the hole was easy. I shortened the case and let the metal key stick out 1.5mm further. This makes the case weaker, but the key could not push far enough into the ignition lock when turning off the car, making it difficult to remove from the car. Printer Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer Model: MakerBot Replicator Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 100% I printed in black ABS with five shells and 100% infill for maximum strength. I chose between the branded and unbranded bottom halves. Post-Printing Most holes need to be drilled out, and some sanding or polishing with acetone may help. I used four M3x6 screws to hold the case together. I replaced the original tiny screw with an M2x8 screw from the hardware store because it was stronger.
