keys glow in the dark 3D print
Motivation
We've never had a key holder tableau, so our keys were just flying around in different places. After making a wall mounted key rack, I had the idea to print custom knobs with glow in the dark filament so we can find stuff in the dark too.
All project parts and additional photos are on github.

Parts
The parts were drawn in solidworks and can be opened in a more or less recent version. The filament is from colorfabb.com and just standard PLA with phosphorescent pigment. They have a hole in the back in order to accommodate a 4x30mm SPAX screwed in from the back through the wood.
The knobs
Shelf
This is just a gimmick, but the rack had to have a small shelf were we can add more stuff that doesn't come with holes. It perfectly fits a pack of tissues.

Showcase
In the end it looks quite nice, even during the day. Everything looks reasonably matching, would print again ;)
