# keygen
|
|
Tools for generating physical keys.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How it Works
|
|
1. Get some nice pictures of the side and tip of your key.
|
|
I recommend a flatbed scanner.
|
|
2. Trace the key outline, warding, and embossing in Inkscape
|
|
3. Use the provided Inkscape plugin to convert the paths to OpenSCAD polygons.
|
|
4. Look up online the various parameters of your key, such as plug diameter,
|
|
cut depths and locations.
|
|
5. Use the provided OpenSCAD functions `key_code_to_heights`,
|
|
`key_blank` and `key_bitting` to generate a 3D model of your key.
|
|
6. Send the key to be 3D printed.
