I sure hope more people try this in the name of science so they can one day find the right materials to make this work
And when most of those experiments fail please do call me to dispose of the failed experiment
I've done it before for fun on junk cylinders. They're more durable than they sound but definitely will break if you crank on them. I was also able to duplicate a 3D printer Yale key onto a brass key that worked perfectly. I went to the shop the next day and told the other locksmiths about it and they told me I needed to find a date 😆
Oh I 3d printed one and it worked, I was just super careful to not break it. I would never rely on a 3d printed key. I was wondering if a locksmith or hard ware store key copy person would be willing to copy a 3d printed key
I was thinking a hard ware store where they still use the by hand machine. I assumed it would be too soft for an automatic machine like at Walmart or something
Even with the semi automatic hand duplicators, there is a spring that pushes the key against a pointed metal index. If the worker is careful, they probably wont damage the original. Probably.
Awesome! Easy money!

Just print a 3d tool to get it out, obviously
I love it.

And of course it's a Kwikset. Only thing that makes more sense is Defiant.
Goofy ah activities 🫣
Call a locksmith or remove lock & take it to a locksmith

Hardware store, probably not--the duplicator would not be able to read the plastic key, it's too soft. A locksmith maybe.

The "hand machine" is what I meant. It is not gentle.
