What would make a perfect 3D printed keychain?

stefdevos · 07-07-2011, 12:54 PM

hello everyone,

I used the Banshee model from starcraft as a keychain (see picture), but that is off course just a personal favourite now i'm thinking: what else would make a nice keychain? With 3D printing everything is possible, right?

would be great to hear your ideas.

I have a metal beer bottle opener on mine. Best one ever...

sure, but even a beer bottle opener can take a million shapes. And some printers print metal too. Maybe just the letters '3D' then you can open it on the curves of the 3. Though I bet I can open a bottle with the banshee as well...

well to print a model just to carry it atatched to your keys ,in my opinion , is too expencive, but if you are willing to pay than there are milions of posibilities. i see you like starcraft so you could make your self a model of space marine and make it hold a bottle opener. and when you open your bottle of beer you could allways say "its about time"

what sort of price is it to have a 3d print like this made then ? i wouldn't mind having one of my models on a keyring :-)

@needse

I ordered a series of models. This one was added for free since I ordered quite a bit. If anyone has small models they want printed, I think I can combine them with my orders, so I can send them.

Any cool suggestions?
