Re: 3d printed key
The reproduction of a key from nothing more than an image. From Hux.
One thing I didnt mention is that is how I made this key. I looked at an Abloy key on the net and took some measurements from the lock and other keys so it wouldnt be hard to reproduce a working key from a photo.
There are a set number of pin lengths so the cut could be produced from a hi res photo. My Samsung phone has a 12 meg camera so I will try this soon.
