Key Tag | Print in Place

A print-in-place keytag to organize all your belongings. Whether you want to organize your different keys to hang them up nicely on the wall or if you need to label your equipment when traveling. This unique design with its living hinge allows you to print the keytag in place without any supports or post processing required. It is printed flat on the print bed in its unfolded state so you can make use of your different print plate textures. It closes with a nice press fit.

If you need to open and close the keytag multiple times make sure to use PETG so the hinges are more flexible in comparison to PLA. If you would rather stick with PLA check out my PLA friendly version of this keytag here.
