Bike key holder

My hubby wanted a 3d printed key holder to hang his keys.

Since he likes bikes a lot, I thought that I’d design a bike key holder.

Tinkercad was used to designed it then I 3d printed it.

I used OVERTURE Matte PLA Filament,1.75mm 3D Printer Filament, 1kg Spool (Matte White) to print it.

How to 3d print a Bike key holder?

It took 18 hours and 47 minutes to print the Bike key holder

These are the steps below which I took to print it:

  • I sliced the file with Cura software and then exported it to an SD card.
  • I used soap and warm water to clean the glass bed, then dried it with a paper towel.
  • Reinstalled the printer’s glass bed.
  • After that, I checked to see if everything was working on my Ender 3 Pro 3D printer.
  • I levelled the bed after placing the filament on the spool holder.
  • I put the SD card in the printer. I turned on the printer, did an auto home, and set the temperature.
  • By printing the chep bed file, I tested the printer’s bed level.
  • I printed the file from TIF once it was ready to print.
  • I kept an eye on the printer while it was printing.
  • I waited for the printer to cool down before removing the print.
  • The printer was auto-homed, and then turned the power button off.
  • I removed the SD card from the printer.

Brian painted the bike key holder with Acrylic colors.

He used colors black, vermillion and white to color the bike.

Colors black and white were used on the key hooks and the base.
