Smaller Key Fob 3D Print Question - Ioniq 6 2024
So I'm looking to get a slightly smaller key fob and I've seen a couple people talking about 3D printed ones that get rid of all the excess space.
My first question is for people that have done this - what are the buttons like to use? Are they responsive and reliable, or are you having to really jam on them since it looks like they're "hinged" plastic pieces attached to the case instead of a floating button.
My second question is, has anyone seen any prints that also have a slot to insert a manual key? This seems like a big oversight on even the official fob, not having a place to insert a manual key. I don't want an extra thing on my key ring, especially with a cap that comes off from the simple friction of pulling my keys out of pocket. Something that lets you slide it in or snap it on would work.
If not, no big deal, but I'm curious for those that have printed these out, if you liked them and had any recommendations on prints. (I did see that I need to be sure to get one that fits the 2024's PCB, as they recently changed)
EDIT: Here is one I found, (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/hyundai-egg-key-fob-alternative-shell-without-text-figure). It says Ioniq 5, but it looks like the PCB's are identical. You should be able to find teardowns of your model's fob, or a battery replacement video on youtube to quickly see what your PCB looks like, or just open your fob yourself. It looks like it's buttonless, which kinda stinks, but that might not be a big problem since it seems there are alternatives for pretty much everything - trunk has a button on it, and pressing the square on the door handle locks and unlocks doors if you've got the fob on you. The only thing it can't do is sound the alarm remotely - but in the very rare instances you'd need to do that, you can do that through the hyundai bluelink app, though I might try modifying the print for that one button. It also looks like it uses the manual key as an insert to connect the fob to your keychain, which is cool, but I'd want to see how stable that connection is, but this could be the one I go with. If I don't see any feedback, I'll try printing it out and letting people know what I think.
