The Key Slider 

Ever have that one key you seem to misplace all of the time, but don't want to have a big ol key ring for just one or two keys? Well, that's where the key slider comes into play. I had this idea a few months ago and began prototyping, it was a long process to get everything to fit just right! 

alongside making it look cool too. 

Currently, I have two different inserts to fit two sizes of house keys. These are types that are widely used; however, I am working on more variations of the inserts to fit different keys of all shapes and sizes! Comment with a picture of what kind of key you'd like to see incorporated into my design. 

Insert types

KW1 - most common house key type

SCHLAGE - almost as common type of house key or door key

There are 4 different front cover designs to choose from

-The Busy Bee

-The Reclaimer

-The empire 

-The gouda

Assembly - It's easy!!

Once you have all your printed parts, take the bottom of the slider and the Key insert of your choice, and push the insert into the back of the sliding mechanism (you will have to push hard), next take your key and insert into the insert, slide the top of the key slider onto the bottom of the key slider from back to font, (optional m3x10 countersunk screw and nut can be utilized in with the holes provided, this will also depend on your filament tolerance's) take your slider and insert into the back of the bottom piece making sure it connects into the key insert. finally snap your cover into place and your ready to go!
