Key Fob Replacement 3D Printed - Circular Two Button

[EPIC Cruisers]

These are printed using HP's MultiJet Fusion printer. The material is a a PolyAmide (Nylon). It's one of the strongest materials available for detailed pieces of this size. I should post up a real picture of this part so you can see the material. It's the same as what I use for some other parts. Check the threads below.

That's a unique one! I've only seen it once or twice. Unfortunately, I'll need a bigger customer base to tackle the design phase. :/

Incredibly jealous that you have access to a printer like that. I've seen it at tradeshows and the quality is amazing and looks to be extremely durable. I'll shoot you a PM.

Well I have access to it in the sense that I pay a commercial service to print it on their machine, haha. I've spent a lot of time designing it for printing and optimizing the design for high strength and low print cost. Economies of scale helps, too. My 100 series Titanium shell has opened up some discounting with the printers given my purchasing patterns.

Those HP machines are awesome. They've got similar accuracy to a well-tuned SLS powder bed printer, but they have increased Z-axis strength where the SLS stuff has a weaker strength. That said, the SLS nylon stuff is still top grade stuff. Far, far superior to any home 3D printer. I almost hesitate to tell people these shells are 3D printed in the first place because to a lot of people "3D Printing" is synonymous with the low-quality stuff from 5+ years ago or the modern $200 machines. I will soon offer a 60 micron layer "Premium" version of my 100 series fob. The print layers are so fine you literally cannot see step lines. It looks perfect. The technology has come very, very far and I'm grateful to have found a way to stay very close to it - and if I play the business side correctly, even make a little spending money doing it!

The prints I saw from the HP printer at the tradeshow had no visible layer lines. The entire surface just looked and felt like a slightly rough matte finish. We use Stratasys Dimension Elite printers at work that are a few years old and even though the quality is really good with these printers the HP is far superior. Kinda crazy to think about how much better 3D printers have become in a matter of years.

Purchasers of this fob shell: How has it behaved over the last 6+ months? Any issues? I've got one customer with some intermittent function and wondering if it's a unique situation or if others have also had issues.

If you've got one and fixed it somehow, please let me know so we can help out our fellow mudder with an intermittent remote!

Thanks!

Both of mine have performed Flawlessly.

@suprarx7nut I can’t believe it took me this long to find your thread for the key fob version of this alarm remote! I’ve seen your other threads for other models. Search has not been my friend for this thread.

Some questions — the website still says that both colors are dyed (and cleared?). Is that still the case or is just the black still dyed and cleared and the orange is now Cerakoted? If just the orange is Cerakoted, any plans to do the black in that finish?

Ah, good catch. I needed to update that text. The black is a natural black/very dark gray. The orange is cerakote.
