I found this nifty little device called a Blade Key on Thingiverse.com that allows you to manage your car and house keys in your pocket like a pocket knife, you just fold out that key you want to use and it makes it so much easier to access your keys then using a chain and also eliminates all of the jingle in your pocket.
This model is created using something called SCAD which is a scripting like language for constructing solid models. It’s awesome because you can change parameters in the code for the model and make it perfectly fit your application. In this video I modify several parameters to custom fit the blade key to the number of keys that I have and the length of the longest key. This is something that makes the models so much more versatile.
“After a week of use, I am sold. The design is incredibly simple. It is one of those forehead slapping, why-didn’t-I-think-of-that products. That’s no slight. Those are the very best products and the very best designs. It takes a truly brilliant design to solve a common, long-lasting problem in a simple and elegant way.” – Everyday Commentary
