In the concluding fourth part of the car keys series on the MakerBot blog, a sturdy replacement housing for a cracked plastic keyfob is reproduced:
One half has a 2mm lip and the other has a 2mm groove รขโฌโ the result is a case that required channel lock pliers to shutรขโฌยฆ but isnรขโฌโขt coming apart any time soon. All of the sides are at least 1.5mm รขโฌโ which is way thicker and sturdier than the original case.
No WAY is this case cracking after a simple drop. From the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING.
This may just be my favorite 3D printer fix ever.
