Custom Key Fob

I'm tired of the plastic breaking on my key fob and am going to mill one out of aluminum.

If I were to sell them, would anyone else be interested?? Just a feeler.

When I actually do it, i'll make sure I have permission. This was merely a feeler. I figure if i'm tired of these things breaking someone else is too.

i have used the same fob for 10 years and 360k miles. I have never broke it. It has dropped god knows how many times. How do you keep breaking yours?

What are you doing to your keyfob that it's breaking the plastic? Never heard of anyone having issues with them breaking.

The first one was dropped in the toilet. The plastic bridge where the key ring goes through broke on the most recent one. I'm working on the CAD file for it now, don't hold your breath guys it might be awhile.

I have seen many fobs break on the "bridge" for the key ring.
