Make your own personalised keyrings

Make your very own personalised Key rings in Fab Lab:

Create the shape and design of your key-ring in inkscape
Use the measure functions to make your key ring a suitable size
Import an image from the web and trace a bitmap – this will allow the laser cutter to engrave the design
Check the fill and stroke properties to ensure that all cuts and raster profiles are correct
Save the file as a PDF and transfer to the laser cutter
Cut and raster the file onto clear acrylic
Cut the same file with vector only in white acrylic ( this is the back)
Colour in the engraved image with permanent markers ( excess marker can be wiped away with white spirit)
Join the two pieces together with liquid solvent cement

There you have a completely unique personalised colour keyring
