Make a Custom/Business Logo Keychain

What is up everybody, In this quick tutorial I am going to show you how to create a custom personal or business logo keychain with a 3d printer. For this instructable you will basically need just a 3d printer and some knowledge of any available cad/3d modeling software.

- I start this project with firstly choosing a logo, that I want to have on my keychain.

- Simply vectorize the image in any vectorizing software and export it as .dxf format

- I have used solidworks to create a 3D model but you can use any free cad program available on the internet. I also made a tutorial how I did this in solidworks so if you are interested please click on a video below.

- After our model is finished, save it as .stl format and drag it to the slicing software.

- I recommend you print it on medium speed with heated bed to prevent any adhesion errors.

- Now just export the g-code and start printing your file..

-I have been using rigid.ink filament and I am very satisfied with the quality and price overall.

- If you are interested in their filament you can get a free sample of any material and color you want so you can make sure the quality is really there.

- Now lets move back to the project. Once the file was printed I wait for bed to cool down and slowly remove logo from the bed.

- I had to trim of some unwanted retraction strings and the last part we need is a blank key ring.

- Slowly put on your logo and the key chain is finished.

- You can create any logo key chain you want so as I make one in black edition or print gift for you friends birthday like this skeleton fish key chain.

-I am really satisfied with how it turned out and I highly recommend you make one for yourself.
