                 filename

Generates keys.

positional arguments:
  filename              OpenSCAD source file for the key

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BITTING, --bitting BITTING
                        Key bitting
  -u OUTLINE, --outline OUTLINE
                        Key blank outline
  -w WARDING, --warding WARDING
                        Key warding
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output file (defaults to a.stl)

All remaining arguments are passed to OpenSCAD.

Examples

bin/keygen.py scad/kwikset.scad --bitting 25536 -o housekey.stl

bin/keygen.py scad/schlage_classic.scad -u 6-pin -w L -b 999999 -o all_section_bump_key.stl

There is a very limited selection of keys right now, to help out, see the guide on how to model keys.

keygen's Issues

Web site keygen.co inop

Won't let you set type, outline etc. was working fine last week, but not now. Tried on different computer, servers etc.

Key Request

This isn't an issue, but would love if you could add American Lock 1100 series key to the site. Love the site, thank you for the great resource!

double sided cuts?

I wanted to contribute to this project to try and have it make me a spare key for my electric bike. So I haven't found anything about if this can handle double sided keys, and how you were running the makefile.

I found this ilco key blank reference pdf but I haven't found a bitting depth specs chart to go with it. I hope to add the ones from this pdf I need (in a new branch) and then others can maybe use this pdf as well

Key Request

I noticed another key request below, and would like to make my own. This is not an issue. Can someone make a compatible model for the ASSA (Twin) V-10? I'm not great at this, and would like some help. Thanks in advance!

Web version does not work

I am trying to use the web version posted. However, even after I point the settings to the BIN directory to see the serve.py it does not do anything. None of the dropdowns are populated with anything and the Preview key is empty. Is there data purposefully missing from this particular project?

Server Certificate Expired

Example does not run

I can't run the example on macOS Mojave Version 10.14.5:

How do I specify the master key notches on the side of the schlage primus?

How do I specify the notches in the green space?

Request: How to to make more keys

I am interested in assisting more keys types, but I do not see any documentation on how you are making them.

Many keyways fail to generate properly. Fix: set cutter_radius=0 in module key_blank.

I discovered this while trying to generate a Primus key, but it seems to affect most Schlage keyways and possibly others. The default value for cutter_radius apparently cuts the blade in half with many keyway designs. At any rate, the final key has essentially no blade at all. Changing the default for cutter_radius to 0, (disabling this cut), seems like a safer choice, or else each .scad file should set its own value (as far as I can see the Schlage .scad files do not, though maybe others do).

Keys not rendering properly

All/most of the keys appear to be rendering missing the center of the key:

There is a warning about how it is trying to scale a 2d object with 0. So it is removing the object.
