@tubetime Pretty impressive reverse engineering there. Impressive!
I wonder if there aren't fellow makers who could make a metal copy of your design. Apparently, you have all the dimensions and angles ready for production.

First idea would be James from Clough42 on YouTube. He seems really skilled with 3D CAE and delicate CNC machining.

@tubetime you’ve already got a working model for an FDM printer, so I’m wondering if this would also work in a SLS metal printer? No idea what the cost of the print would be though. Or you could have a go at making a high temperature silicone mould of the key and casting it in pewter.

@tubetime “Hello, this is the Lockpicking Lawyer…”

another day, another lock. I designed a little pinning tray to make it easier to compare pins.

@tubetime neat! Could you get an outfit to print you a copy in metal with DMLS? I have no idea how much such a thing would cost
