Lighter-Key Keeper

This handy little gadget holds three keys and a regular sized Bic lighter. I often find myself forgetting my keys, but I never forget my lighter. Now - thanks to this little beaut I'll never forget either… or I'll forget both! I've printed this model in both PLA and PETG, both seem plenty strong and are holding well. This model is three pieces and a the key loop on the bottom is print in place. To assemble it will require three M3 x 10 screws and three M3 heat inserts. I chose to go with heat inserts so that I could easily adjust the tension on the keys. I find without the heat inserts you only get so many tighten/loosens before you strip out the plastic. The first step is to gently and carefully pop out the print in place key chain ring. Next line up the heat inserts and press them in with your soldering iron.Now take the “key cover” and insert the little key ejector then put a screw through the hole.Once you screw in the top two corners your ready to add your keys. pinch
