This page has the current links for information, models, and more.

The matching donations for the fundraising campaign with this project has ended. However, the model files are still available and it is always helpful to raise awareness and promote positive mental health and suicide prevention. Donations to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention are encouraged when downloading models. Share the keychains with people you care about and print them in any color that brings you joy!

Models for 3D Printing: Cults3D & Printables

Models in STL file format are available at Cults3D and Printables. Each keychain is available separately and there are STL files setup for printing all 10 at once. Also, pre-sliced .gcode is included in various combinations for Prusa MK3S, Prusa MINI, Ender 3, and Bambu X1.

Purchase Keychains at Vulkaza

For people who do not have a 3D printer that would like a set of 10 keychains, purchasing is available through Vulkaza for only the cost of shipping. One single-color set per customer, but contact Vulkaza if interested in bulk orders.

Matching Contributors

Throughout November 2022, we were able to count 126 individual people posting prints of the keychains on Twitter, Instagram, Cults3D, and Printables. In addition to our planned contribution to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, my family contributed $2 to AFSP for each person posting. Also, the following companies made contributions of $1000 each. With other various contributions we noted throughout the campaign, the 3D printing community raised over $5000 through the keychain project for AFSP. Wow!

Social Media
