Introducing the Shamrock Shake (Mint Shake) Keychain!

Overview:

I designed this keychain to appear like those you may find at a fast food restaurant in celebration for the coming Saint Patrick's Day holiday. This design features two options to choose from, one with just the “shake” contents and another with a detailed disposable cup/lid to tie everything together. You can simply print only the parts you need for your preferred look of this keychain.

The lid snaps into place on the rim of the cup which also doubles as a spinning fidget!

Helpful Print Information:

Depending on which transparent PETG you use for the cup and lid parts, you may have to tweak your settings slightly to achieve a nice and clear print. The provided print profile uses Transparent Polymaker PETG.

A general tip if you do not know where to start for adjusting to your transparent filament is to increase your material temperature about 10 degrees (about 265 for PETG) and print at very slow speeds (20mms).

If you would like to learn more about printing as clear as possible with transparent filaments, please refer to the well documented link below:

Additional Settings to consider:

• Seam alignment was set to random to allow for a cleaner look with no obvious line running down the transparent parts (cup and lid). If you are not bothered by the seam feel free to change this setting.
• COOLING - turn off or greatly reduce cooling for transparent PETG parts for best results.
• Layer Height - can be changed for PETG parts to potentially increase transparency.
• All parts were made to print SUPPORT FREE.
