One of my friends had asked me to 3D print something that would allow him to fix his broken GYM Access Key Fob. These are the types of fobs used for Door Access Control in office building, apartments, schools, and home security. Apparently, the keychain cutout in the normal HID Key Fobs is prone to breakage after heavy use. To make matters worse some companies are charging users a lot of money to replace damaged or lost Key Fobs. Making this quick and cheap solution even more appealing.
Thinking about the problem at hand the best solution appeared to be a case that could fit around the fob and give it a new & stronger keychain loop. As I always try to do in my designs, I used several different Fobs I had collected in order to make this a universal fit. The case bottom and top just snap together around your fob to give it some extra strength and protection. There is also a small notch cut into the top section to allow it to be separated by either a coin or key, if you need to retrieve the fob on the go.
This turned out so good that I have used it on my company keyfob just to protect it from breaking the future.
Hope you guys enjoy.
