VW Beetle Moving Key Hanger

Someone on Reddit was looking for something like this and I thought it a fun challenge to design.

Print Instructions

• Designed for 0.2mm layer height with a 0.5 nozzle width or lower.
  • I printed mine on a 0.5mm nozzle at 0.2mm.
• Min 3 top layers - Exactly 2 perimeters.
  • Any fewer top layers and the quality may suffer due to infill.
  • Any more perimeters and the surface detail may be lost.
• 15% infill.
• I printed this in PLA. PETG should work, but may be a little sticky for the joints.
• No supports needed (other than one that's built into the model).
• As the top face is the display side, it's useful to have your extrusion rate pretty dialed in, otherwise the face can get messy. I had some luck with ironing, but that also benefits from a dialed extrusion rate.

Assembly Instructions

1. Print.
2. Remove the supports from the Boot and Back components.
   1. They should come off easily with hand pressure pulling on the square tab at the base of the support. Try to be gentle.
3. Assemble components onto the back plate (see pictures)
4. Align the front-plate holes with the back plate pins and press closed firmly.
   1. The press fit is quite tight, may benefit from some slight trimming of any seams on the back plate pins.
5. Can be attached to the wall with 3M Command Strips.

I recently remixed this as a magnetic key holder which includes many improvements. You can find that here.
