3D Printed VG1 Keyfob Covers

Hi folks,

Just a quick little post to show off what I've been working on recently.

I've done a few posts in the past about the VG1 (Volvo Guard alarm system):

Volvo Guard 1 Keyfobs
Solved: Volvo Guard 1 remote C/L range.

and in one I mentioned the prospect of 3D printing the battery lids/covers. Well, I have a 3D printer now and have now designed and printed up some covers. See the pictures here and let me know what you think, I'm not 100% satisfied with the quality yet but in general they work and look better than a gooey wrap of electrical tape!

It's probably the nichest of niche markets but if people are interested I can print more of these and if people are really interested I can use other colours than black. Wouldn't be looking for much for them, probably less than £10 delivered in the UK.

They rely on using the original screw and spring battery contact salvaged from the original fob. Spring could be bodged and the screw is a black, 2x9mm countersunk self tapper.

Cheers
