  How many people know a locksmith versus how many people know a 3d printer?

    You just need a picture of a key, a key blank, and a file.

    It’s always been extremely easy to copy standard keys.

    Yes, this automates some of it, but honestly if you’re smart enough to know how to use a flipper Zero and a 3d printer, you can cut a key by hand (assuming no disability prevents you from having fine motor skills)

  If you’re copying keys like this, you probably don’t want a paper trail or additional witnesses.

  if you have a 3D printer it denies saves you a trip to the hardware store

  plus you could print fun… novelty keys. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  you could even print them from dissolvable filament so that if your idiot guests lose them outside they’re likely to dissolve in the rain

  or maybe there is such a thing as self destructing filament that doesn’t require water? like some kind of heat activated depolymerizer that takes a few days to break down after printing. that could be really useful for like an AirBnB

    There’s a chocolate printer 🤷
