🔑 Makers Key Switchblade | Retractable Key Fidget

The Makers Key Switchblade is the perfect blend of everyday utility and playful design. Featuring a smooth spring-lock mechanism, your key retracts and extends with a satisfying click ✨—making it just as much a fidget toy 🎮 as it is a practical tool for daily use.

Built for makers, tinkerers, and everyday carry enthusiasts ⚙️, this compact holder includes a dual-unit ruler faceplate 📏 (inches + centimeters) to handle quick measurements on the go. Precision-engineered press-fit construction ensures the holder stays securely assembled 🔒 while remaining easy to put together—no glue or hardware needed.

🎨 Customizable in any color combination, the Makers Key Switchblade lets you show off your personal style while proudly supporting innovation with a Bambu Lab–engraved logo on the back. With a quick print time ⏱️, clean details 🪛, and durable performance 💪, this design is optimized for both quality and fun. (There are other print profiles for non-AMS users with or without color change)

Whether you’re clicking it for focus 🌀, measuring a quick project 📐, or simply carrying your keys in style 🗝️, the Makers Key Switchblade is a small but mighty tool that’s sure to impress.

Note: This model was designed to fit a Schlage-style key, however, it does not need to be a Schlage brand key to fit in my design. I included a printable example key, but if you have a generic key that matches that shape it will most likely fit in this design. 

Reach out to me if you would like me to make a adaptation design to fit a different type of key!

⚠️ Additional Print Profiles (FOR NON-AMS USERS) ⚠️

1. The first print profile  is for AMS users. It has the normal color changes in this project and utilizes the AMS.
2. The second print profile if for non-AMS users who still want the colored markings on the ruler. The first plate is sliced with a pause at layer 26, this is where the colored markings start. All you must do is replace your filament with the desired color, click resume, and wait until the print is finished.
3. The third print profile is for non-AMS users who want the key holder in one solid color. No additional steps are required, just print as is.
