<p>These Key Blocks are a modular snap-together set of key holders which allow you to store or hang your spare keys in an organized and adaptable way.  In addition to the key holders themselves, I have made some &#8220;ends&#8221; which allow you to add a hook, ring or stand so that you can store the assembled set however suits you.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="839" height="1024" src="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/B_2-Thangs-50-1-839x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2176" srcset="https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/B_2-Thangs-50-1-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/B_2-Thangs-50-1-246x300.jpg 246w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/B_2-Thangs-50-1-768x937.jpg 768w, https://www.logicalplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/B_2-Thangs-50-1.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px" /></figure>



<p>My original plan was to hang them in a closet but I quite like the idea of a small stand on my desk for the keys I need more often.  And, I have also made a ring end that can hang onto any kind of hook.  I will use this for storing keys in my vehicle as well as the hook makes it easy to grab ahold of.</p>

<p>Each Key Block has a set of flexible ribs which grip the end of any key inserted into it.  </p>

<p class="has-large-font-size">Printing</p>



<p>I have tried to make my main print settings visible on the Cura screenshot but in case they are difficult to read I have summarized them again here&#8230;</p>



<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Material</span>: </strong>I choose to use PETG for its durability and flexibility.   </p>



<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>My Setup:</strong></span><br>Nozzle = 0.4mm</p>



<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">My Settings</span>:</strong><br>Layer height = 0.2mm<br>Line width = 0.4mm<br>Wall count = 4 (1.6mm)<br>Infill = 40%<br>Ironing = OFF</p>



<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Support:<br></strong></span>Designed to print without support.  Only the ring end has a built-in print support which you will need to remove after printing.</p>



<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Print Orientation</span>: </strong>As shown in the screenshot(s).</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size">Assembly Notes</p>



<p>No assembly or post-print processing is required except the removal of the print support from the ring end.</p>
