3D printed keychains are small, cheap to make and easy to give, so they’re one of the best-selling 3D prints on Etsy. The best ones do a little more than hang on a ring: they move, they click or they carry something useful. Here are eight 3D printed keychain ideas from Etsy shops.

Ideas for Personalized 3D Printed Keychains
Name keychains are the most common custom order: a first name or initials in a bold font, printed in two colors. You can also match a keychain to a hobby, a pet or a car, the way the NFC truck does. If you print your own, a keychain is a good first project: small, quick and forgiving.
