South Africa Keychain by mathgrrl

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago
This 3D model highlights the nine provinces of South Africa. By running a loop through the landlocked country of Lesotho, you can make a keychain.
The design process is easy and you can use it to create your own custom keychains:
Draw or trace an outline with a Sharpie marker and take a photo
Fill in the outline with a Sharpie and take another photo from the same angle and distance
Convert both photos to SVG format using an online converter (like this one)
Import the SVGs to Tinkercad and extrude so the outline is taller than the filled-in shape
Do your best to position, align, and size the outline and the shape to match
Export as STL and 3D print (see Pro Tip below)
Color the embossed lines with a Sharpie or other paint marker
Pro tip: Sometimes when printing text or lines, and depending on the width of those lines, a 3D printer will print thin walls with gaps inside the lines. You can see this in the green photo. By tweaking settings you might be able to get your printer to fill in those gaps. What worked for us here was to set Wall Thickness to 1 Shell, resulting in the nicer-lined blue model shown in the cover photo.
