Introduction: Keychain Holder
Hi All,
I will share a simple way to make a customized keychain holder using Tinkercad. Anyone can create 3d models by logging into Tinkercad website for free.
Supplies
- Tinkercad
- 3d Printer
- Acrylic paint
- metallic hooks
Step 1: House
- We start with basic shapes,
- Drag and drop the following shapes as shown
- Rectangles
- Triangle
- Adjust the height and width till one is happy with the basic house shape
- Overall height is 8mm
- Search for a heart shape from the right side of the tools and insert it as a hole
- Adjust the position of the heart and combine to make our house shape
Step 2: Text
- Insert Text from the Basic Shapes
- Add a rectangle hole to remove "O" from HOME as shown
- Overall height is 8mm
- Bring the house shape, in-line with the text and group the shapes
Step 3: Base
- Add rectangle with 10mm height
- Add holes for the hooks (3mm diameter)
- Add holes for the screws as shown
- Group all to make our final shape
Step 4: STL Files
