<html><head></head><body><h3 class="thing-component-header summary summary">Summary</h3>
<div><p>I was looking to print a key holder to go next to my garage door in my kitchen. I don&apos;t have a lot of space there, so I wanted to get something that would look good, fit nicely, and be reliable.<br>
After a lot of scouring the interwebs, I happened across the excellent key hook, posted by HaBen. While the original design was awesome, I saw in his images an example where the face plate was on both the top, and bottom, and that gave me an idea.  </p>
<p>I doubled the height of the frame, and swapped out the hooks for pegs instead, lending to some stability and strength. With this done, I recreated the top face plate, and made a bottom face plate, allowing you to mount both to create a similar look to the suggested look in his post.<br>
You likely won&apos;t need to use all 4 screw holes if you&apos;re just holding some keys. I did Personally, but mostly because why not? Also, it&apos;s a snug fit, if it&apos;s too tight for you, you can either file down the top/bottom a little, or increase the size by around 1% (I&apos;ve tried .5% and had good results) Since these parts fit together, I&apos;d suggest printing at a higher resolution to get some clean fitment.<br>
For infill, I went a bit high (50%) to lend more strength to the hooks where they connect to the base. This may not be necessary however, only time will tell, but for functional items I&apos;d rather be safe than sorry. The bottom cover will help with this as well, once it&apos;s installed and snug.<br>
I marked the top/bottom covers on the reverse side with markings to show their orientation, so you won&apos;t try to put the top on the bottom or vice versa (they may be similar enough to where it won&apos;t matter, but I am not sure.)  I am currently printing a new copy of this with better filament to get a better demonstration image, and to hold the whole family&apos;s car keys, so images coming soon!<br>
This is a work in progress. I am still tuning the band so to speak, going for the perfect fitment, so hopefully I&apos;ll get it dialed in just right, where very little adjustment is necessary, if any.</p></div>

                        </p><div><p>When printed flat, no supports were needed. This is my suggested orientation, especially if  you&apos;ve got a good texture on your bed, or you print on glass, where you&apos;ll get a clean bottom layer. If printed in this orientation, I suggest enabling &quot;ironing&quot; to smooth out the surfaces that will be marrying when assembled. This isn&apos;t a &quot;must,&quot; but could help if you tend to have rougher top layers, or don&apos;t want to sand if it&apos;s too snug.<br>
If your bottom layers look like butt, you have 2 other options. (I&apos;ve done both)<br>
(1) You can orient the covers vertically, with the flat side facing the bed. The curves in the plastic shouldn&apos;t cause much of an issue, but you may want to use supports for the top overhang. Printing in this orientation will make the overall texture more consistent, but will insert some other issues. For instance, you&apos;ll now have layer lines going up the print. While it may look awesome, depending on your layer adhesion and squish, you may either have layer separation issues while installing, or the printing process may potentially throw off the fitment from the inside. If this is the case, you can post-process by the means you use for the filament you choose, or resize slightly to compensate for the additional material internally.<br>
Alternately, you can print the covers outside up. Doing this will likely give you a great outer finish, especially if you &quot;iron&quot; the top layers. The issue however, is that you&apos;ll need to use supports underneath. If you choose this path, remember to adjust the support interface so you can remove it as cleanly as possible, to not have too much trouble with fitment.<br>
These are just suggestions. It really comes down to your printer, your filament, your settings in your slicer, and your personal experience. Tweaking will likely be necessary. I am still making adjustments to the final, so check back. Printing and testing for the perfect fit takes time! Not a lot though, the print time is pretty good on this.</p></div>

Sphere scout ship

<p>I purchased Elegoo Smart Car Robotics Kits for each my two boys for Christmas. It is a good opportunity to teach them Arduino programing. The Elegoo BLE software let&apos;s them design json scripts the robot can perform from a phone. But my oldest said it needed armor... So now it has some :)</p>

<p>I designed the covers in Solidworks using the great model by Stefan Peters on GrabCAD as my starting point (Saved me a lot of measuring). Parts can pretty much print with zero supports. Top cover is in two pieces and is fixed together with screws or M3 bolts (whichever you have on hand). Other than that no hardware is required, just what is already on the robot.</p>

<p>The covers let him play a little more roughly, and protects the electronics and wiring from Surprise Kitten Attacks :)</p>

<p>Files are included in STL, 3MF, STEP, X_T, and Fusion360. Feel free to modify, share, remix.</p>

<p>-UPDATE: I just added the &quot;Shark Fin&quot; cover my youngest had me design for his robot.</p>
