There are two seperate listings to simplify things. Both include an uncut physical key and instructons to program as an additional third or fourth spare key. With the leather: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4498939754/ford-slim-custom-key-fob-minimalistic...

Of course, thank you for raising that awareness! I will include a spare uncut key with each order. More photos to follow...

I've done that more times than I would like to admit myself. I'll remove the TPU button on the alarm underneath the leather for those of you that would like that as well. I'll add another dropdown for that.

Yes, I agree! Unfortunately, a metallic enclosure would essentially act as a faraday cage and block/interrupt the signal

Yes, I understand. As I mentioned, that is not a concern of mine. The modern vehicles have the ability to alert you before the 12V battery has depleted to zero which was my point previously. It is significantly smaller than the OE fob and it is your choice to cut and carry a spare key which I...

No, I won't be releasing the STL files

Awesome, I will soon post the Etsy link and offer the forum members a nice discount!

That hasn't really been a concern for me because I can unlock the vehicle from my phone and even if the battery is dead, it can simply be placed into the center console and it will start up. Other drivers have optioned their Bronco with the keypad which will get them in the same way Either...

Thanks for all the patience! I wanted to elevate the key a bit so I added a 5oz leather embossed face and increased the strength of the keyring loop. The leather adds about 2mm of thickness, but the overall footprint is still half the size of the factory key. I also ordered some three-button...

I appreciate that. As shown it is not reinforced, but I do see the concern in comparison to the size of the original key. I've been using this for the last year or so printed in PLA and it is surprisingly strong because the loop is printed along with each layer line so it is less likely to...

I am happy with this final design shown below with the option to change the color of the faceplates- some examples with varying textures. The chip that I have and designed this for has been discontinued from the seller. Making some adjustments to a new key and ordered some three-button fobs for...

Absolutely, there will be a drop-down for the colors I have on hand. If there's a color you want I don't have, I can definitely get them.

I should have it up by this weekend and I will be sure to post it here as well with better pictures. Keep an eye out for it

Sure, I can sell just the casing but that will most likely cause damage to the factory casing and potentially the membrane (which may be fine for most). My goal is to distribute a third key and the best thing about the Bronco is with two keys already paired to the vehicle, the owner can easily...

As an update, I ordered some more keys which had an extra button at the bottom. Those won't work with my design goals in keeping it minimalistic, new keys on the way! I am prototyping with PLA and planning on making the final casing out of PETG to be stronger with TPU buttons. Each key will be...

Awesome, I should have these available soon enough- the STL file won’t be released. I really appreciate the interest from the manual drivers, and I love that there are others keeping them alive! For you, l’ll need some time to order those remotes, rip out the guts, and tweak the design a bit for...

I appreciate your interest. I spent quite some time designing this and dialing my print settings for this specifically, so I most likely won’t be sharing the file. I’ve been exploited before because of my generosity so this time around it will be available on an Etsy page.

I agree that would be a very nice finish- look and feel, however, a metal enclosure would essentially act as a farady cage blocking any radio frequencies emitted from the key. I am still planning on refining this design and making the product available for purchase if others are interested.

I would say it’s probably about 1/3-1/2 of the original

If you guys are still interested in a MINIMALIST key fob, please let me know. I've been using and testing my own 3D printed design for the last year or so and currently making the last tweaks to the casing. It's just about ready to roll out in the next few weeks once I dial in the tolerances and...
