Magnetic Key Clip - Never Lose Your Keys Again!
Whenever I have my keys in my pocket, I'm afraid they might fall out, if I move around a lot, so I fixed the problem with 3D printing and some magnets.
Supplies
I used some 5x5x5 mm neodymium magnets and a 3D printed part.
You can get the magnets here
The STL and Fusion360 files are included in this Instructable
Printing the Part
Print the file with your 3D Printer
- For best results use a flexible material like TPU
- Use a brim for better bed adhesion
Insert the Magnets
Insert the magnets into the holes
You might need to use a hammer to get them into place.
Important: The magnets must have a different polarity when inserted, otherwise they will not attract.
Attach the Clip to Your Pocket
Put the ring with your keys onto the "bridge" between the magnets and clamp the clip to some of the fabric of your pocket.
