Custom Keychains

PRISMS Product
Date
June 2023 - Present
The PRISMS keychains were the idea of my mom. She had seen a similar product on Esty and thought that it would make a good product to sell for a fundraiser. PRISMS is an organization that is near to my heart as it helps fund awareness and research for SMS which is a rear genetic disorder that my youngest sister has. I took a long time testing different version, settings, and filaments because I would be making all of the keychains my self on my very small printer at the time. The main design parameters for these parts was print speeds and durability, but the ascetics could not take a back seat so balancing these 3 parameters was very difficult.
Once I landed on set premieres and designed all of the letters and sizes that we would offer we created a Rally Up page. After a couple days orders began to flow and working to fulfill all of them was quite the core but extremely rewarding. We ended up shipping close to 40 keychains and raising over $1000.
After the success of the custom run PRISMS reached out and asked if I could make 100 keychains with that said PRISMS. When they asked I had to say no because the printer I had at the time would have been too inefficient to do it in my dorm room which was where I was living at the time. However over Christmas I got a Bambu Labs P1S and redesigned just the letters in PRISMS to print as efficiently as possible and let them know I could. Over the next 2 weeks I printed 800 parts and have now delivered PRISMS's order of 100 keychains.
