Ford key shame?

[mrpbailey]

I'm tempted to go for a red one to match the car but got a feeling it might look a bit tacky?

[JW027]

Well you have some time to decide. Black is a nice neutral choice. I'll be heading stateside this weekend for a few weeks then I'll start these on my return.

I'd take two, one in blue as per car, one in black. Thanks

Thanks for all the posts. Photos of my finished fob project below.



I am glad not to have to look at the Ford key anymore! The key fits in super tight with no play and there are 3 snap fits to hold the 2 covers nicely together. As this is a 3D printed part i had to try and remove some layer and support material marks but there is a trade off between sanding and life! It has a little hand finished charm which I like. I decided to keep the circular logo as the rectangular logo didn't work with the form & keeping the profile slim around the key, and the overall aesthetic was more important than the type of logo IMO.





I finished it with a Portofino blue metallic paint. The process used is below:
-CAD Model, 3D Print, print finishing and curing
-a wet and dry rub
-3x plastic primer coats with a fine grit sand after each coat
-3x metallic paint coat with a fine grit sand after each coat
-2x clear coat

If other owners want their own version i'd be happy to do this in any flat/metallic paint (from Halfords). The cost for this would be £25 per item and would include choice of paint and secure postage with it's own plastic pot to avoid damage. If you want just the plastic part to finish yourself I can do this too for £15. Feel free to PM me or create a list below and i'll get in touch.

It has been an enjoyable project and I think i'll look at the dash air vents next!

Nice work Jed!! how about some rear lights??

Sorry I may have missed it somewhere, but can you clarify if the black is as it comes?

Hi Fett,
Raw is a grey resin requiring finishing. Black will be a painted finish.

[andygtt]

I see everyone requesting lots of different colours, have you offered/ intending to paint each one for everyone or are they voting for a colour for them all to be?

I would be interested in a couple if possible... no idea what colour I would want, something bright maybe

[Fett]

Thanks JW027, will stick with black then.

If it's easy for you to do raw that's fine I'm sure I can sort colour coding my end
