    I saw the video too and I found it somehow stupid to 3d printing a key when you can go to locksmith Image

      If you’re copying keys like this, you probably don’t want a paper trail or additional witnesses.

      if you have a 3D printer it denies saves you a trip to the hardware store

      plus you could print fun… novelty keys. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

      you could even print them from dissolvable filament so that if your idiot guests lose them outside they’re likely to dissolve in the rain

      or maybe there is such a thing as self destructing filament that doesn’t require water? like some kind of heat activated depolymerizer that takes a few days to break down after printing. that could be really useful for like an AirBnB
