Minimalist Geometric Key Holder
Why I Like It
Full transparency: I’m partial to my Keyport. If you haven’t seen one, go check it out at mykeyport.com — it’s a precision-machined key organizer that collapses your whole keychain into a slim, pocketknife-style package. They’ve supported the blog and make genuinely excellent products. Go give them some love.
That said — Keyports aren’t cheap, and not everyone is ready to commit to one. If you want to try the key-organizer concept before spending real money, or if you just want a printed backup, this geometric holder is a solid place to start. It keeps keys from jangling against each other, reduces bulk compared to a traditional ring, and has a clean minimal aesthetic that sits well in a pocket.
The geometry is the interesting part — the angular form factor isn’t just aesthetic, it helps keys seat in a predictable orientation so you’re not flipping through them to find the right one. PETG at 40% infill, 4 walls. The pivot hardware is usually M3 hardware (check the model page for specifics). Once assembled and dialed in, it genuinely works. Think of it as a test drive for the concept — and if you find yourself liking it, go get the real thing.
What Filament Should You Use?
Here’s a quick breakdown of the three most common filaments for EDC gear so you can pick the right one for your setup:
| Filament | Hardness | UV Resistance | Durability | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PETG | Medium | Fair | High | Everyday indoor/EDC carry, food-safe prints, flexible-tough balance |
| ABS | High | Poor | High | Rigid structural parts, heat-resistant applications (e.g. car/glove box gear) |
| ASA | High | Excellent ☀️ | Very High | Outdoor EDC, belt/bag attachments, anything exposed to sun or weather |
TL;DR: Use PETG for most EDC prints — easy to work with and tough enough. Use ASA if the piece will live outdoors or in direct sunlight. Use ABS if you need maximum rigidity and heat resistance and have an enclosure on your printer.
