Summary

Have a few USB boot drives, that have different Operating systems on each. Needed a way to differentiate between them. Decided to 3D print a keytag

opened illustrator, i found a good font (Oriya Sangam MN), saved as .svg, Opened in 123dDesign, extruded it, saved as .stl, sliced with makerbot, printed with Makerbot 5th gen, attached to keyring.

Concept to Keyring: 30 minutes.

It is very easy to make your own design and print it. Simple when you have the right tools.
