StealthClip EDC Knuckle-style Keychain
Why I Like It
The StealthClip sits in that sweet spot between tool and fidget — useful enough to justify the pocket space, satisfying enough that you’ll keep reaching for it. The knuckle-style body gives your fingers a natural grip point, so you’re not fumbling with a bare key ring when your hands are full or gloved. That ergonomic curve is a small thing that makes a real difference when you’re moving fast.
The clip mechanism is solid. It’s not a flimsy hook — it’s designed to stay put on a belt loop, bag handle, or carabiner without walking off during a full day of movement. I’ve had standard split rings fail me in the field; this doesn’t have that problem. The whole assembly stays compact and low-profile in a pocket.
Print it in PETG at 45% infill with 4 walls for a rigid, durable result. If you want a tighter snap on the clip, try scaling down 1–2% in the X axis. The creator consistently puts out refined, well-toleranced EDC work — this is one of their best. Worth keeping a few printed in different colors to hand out to people who ask about it.
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.
