About Parametric Customizable Name Keychain Creator
Ballache's Parametric Customizable Name Keychain Creator is a flexible keychain generator on MakerWorld with four text styles: embossed, inlay, engraved and cutout. You can add an optional second line and choose fonts through MakerWorld's font picker, which covers scripts such as Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew, Chinese, Russian and Korean.
Designs can use one, two or three colours, split between the text, the main base and an optional bottom layer with its own border. Enter several names separated by commas and the generator lays out one keychain per name across the available build plates, which saves time for party favours or team gifts.
The keyring hole position applies to all names at once, and the designer notes that some fonts struggle with names starting with letters like Y, T, X or W. Those names are best exported on their own after adjusting the hole.

What you'll need to print it
Materials and parts that give the best results with Parametric Customizable Name Keychain Creator.
Multicolour PLA for keychains and HueForge
Dual- and tri-colour silks give a single-nozzle printer colour shifts with no extra hardware, and a matched colour set is what lets HueForge and colour lithophanes blend thin layers into a full image.
- Bambu Lab PLA Silk Multi-ColorCo-extruded dual and tri colours that shift with the viewing angle; great for keychains and name tags.
- SUNLU Multi-Color Silk PLA (dual/tri/four-colour)Budget dual-, tri- and four-colour silk for colourful prints without an AMS.
- Bambu Lab PLA CMYK Lithophane BundleFour 1 kg spools (cyan, magenta, yellow, white) made for colour lithophanes and handy for HueForge-style layering.
Multicolour filament systems
An automatic filament changer prints multi-colour signs, keychains and HueForge pieces without you standing by to swap filament at every colour layer.

Key rings for printed keychains
