Miniature cedar chests were made by the Lane furniture company, from the 1930's to the 1970's, to be given to girls at high-school graduation as an advertisement for their full-sized chests which girls in the 60's called a ‘hope chest’ or dowry chest in which were kept linens etc that were to be used on their marriage! Lots of ladies still have these keepsakes but frequently the keys are missing. Some people sell replacement keys but they are outrageously expensive given what they are. This is the only 3D printable key I'm aware of (I looked for them before designing one myself). My design is different from the flat metal ones supplied with the chests, because a printed key in that style would not be strong enough to turn safely without a real risk of breaking in the lock. This design is more solid and should be printed at 100% infill as configured in the attached print profile. I've tested it and it works and is solid enough even with PLA. A brass-coloured filament
