Lasercut Keychain

This is a laser cut keychain I made. It is a piece of 1/4" wood that was designed in Adobe Illustrator and engraved and cut by a laser cutter. On the other side of the keychain, there is a sticker that was designed in Adobe Illustrator. It was printed by a vinyl sticker printer.

This is a screenshot of the vector cut and engrave part of this project.

This is a screenshot of the duck shape flipped because it needs to go on the opposite side of the piece of wood. It is the design of my sticker.

This is a picture of the printed sticker before it was put onto the keychain. You will see that the sticker is different in the final product and this photo. This is because I had to re-print my sticker.

One thing that went well during this project was the design process. It was very easy and readily changeable if needed. A challenge that I faced during this project was having to make changes to the design and re-cut and re-print everything. It was necessary to re-cut because the feet were too susceptible to breaking and the hold for the keyring was too close to the edge, therefor making the keyring unable to stay in the hole. If I were to redo this project, I would make less sharp edges. They are a bit pokey and annoying to have in your pocket.
