Why carry your keys as a jingling mess if you can carry them on a beautiful organizer?#

Help me create more FREE models! 
If you like the stuff I create, consider joining my printables club as a supporter. It makes a world of difference to me and helps me offset some of the costs involved in creating these products (energy, filament, etc).

As a key organization aficionado, I've designed a customizable solution that tidies up your keys and adds a personal touch. 

Mix and match colors and textures to create a one-of-a-kind look! To build the simple version, you only need standard M3 screws, nuts, and washers.

PS: Keys used as props in the pictures are designed by @Martin_. Give his profile a visit!

 

There are 2 versions of the KeyCarry. Here is what you will need for each:

  • Full - As the name says, this is the version with no compromises and the one I use myself. You will need:
    • Printed parts
    • Glue to glue the scales
    • 5mm Chicago Screws (also known as Book or Bookbinding screws). If your keys have narrow holes, you can try to search for 4mm screws or drill a larger hole in the key. I bought this kit from Amazon
    • Washers that fit the Screws you bought

 

  • M3_Screw - Version adapted for using standard M3 screws
    • Printed parts
    • Glue to glue the scales
    • M3 Screws, nuts, and washers

 

  • M3_Screw_No_Scales - This is a simplified version compatible with Standard M3 Screws. You will need:
    • Printed parts
    • M3 Screws, nuts, and washers

 

How to assemble

 

Step 1: If you printed the full version, glue the scales on their respective parts. Otherwise, skip this step.

 

Step 2: Place the longer part of the screw (or the screw itself for the M3 version) in both holes of the top part and place it on a table.

 

Step 3: Add the keys to the top screw, alternating with washers. So if you were to add two keys it would mean Keyholder half - washer - key - washer - key - washer - Keyholder half. At this point, you might discover that you need a different size of screw.

 

Step 4: Add washers to the bottom screw until they are at the same level as the keys. Make sure there is not much space left on the screws and add extra washers accordingly. You can find spacers/washers to download of multiple thicknesses. Make sure you print them with a brim.

 

Step 5: Place the top half and close the screws

 

Step 6: Enjoy it!!!
