A self-documenting key storage system. You want the garage keys? Insert your name tag to unlock it. Done? Put the key back, free your nametag.

#keyguardian #3dPrinting

Working on a more useful evolution of the #keyguardian, my #3dPrinted XOR mechanism thats useful e.g. to unlock garage keys with a name tag for auto-documentation who took them.

This compact board houses 20 of these XOR pairs, so 20 keyrings could be tracked. But I also think this could be turned into a rad #boardGame, what do you think? Tying two of those together with a string is also very fun, I tried.

What do you think?

@adamsdesk I have a ridiculous pile of keys on several rings, attached with a thin but long rope to my belt with a screw-lockable carabiner. Looks ridiculous and regularly destroys my pockets, but losing or dropping keys is one thing I never want to worry about ever again.

I also designed this #keyGuardian for #3dPrinting to organise keys others also need to use and force everyone to document who took which key:

Anyone thought of turning the #HoneycombStorageWall into a #BoardGame?

It just came to my mind that e.g. with my #keyguardian [1] XOR-mechanism one could make a pretty interesting tangle-untangle-logic style game by connecting the keys with strings as in the video.

Any more ideas? The HSW seems like a cool base for this.

The #keyguardian in a punchy red with a white insert and fob looks nice! 👌

Attached: 1 image I finally made it: an XOR mechanism that requires exactly one of two keys to be inserted at a time. I call it the 🗝️ #keyguardian. This is very useful for example to track where important small things go: Want to take the car keys? You have to insert your name tag to unlock it. My first mechanical project with #SolveSpace and it was great!

I used the #keyguardian to organise these keys. I added a version with a paper label slot and some printed name tags. Works very well! 👍
