Union Jack Keyfob

Herewith yet another keyfob, this time the Union Jack, the UK's national flag. This one's been a long time coming, mainly due to the complexity of how to facilitate the interlocking nature of the colours and their arrangement (procrastination aside of course!)

It's designed in 3 levels, with the top one being in 4 parts for the white elements around the four corners. The middle is printed in red and the base in blue. Try using PLA Silk for a really attractive result.

As a snap-fit with the usual clearance of 0.1mm between mating surfaces, it is best to build the flag from the base up, i.e. blue, red and white layers in sequence.

The white elements need extra care as they are quite small and fiddly and will require plenty of patience when removing any stringing etc. before assembly

It is best if all the various elements are assembled together first - prior to pulling out the superglue and applying it!

When it's clear that everything will fit, it can be disassembled, the base receiving the first layer of glue, the red layer placed into the blue and then the same done with the white corners going into the red layer.
