Atari & Firebee Shopping Trolley Key (Multi-Material)
A high-quality, ergonomic shopping trolley chip (23mm diameter) featuring the iconic Atari and Firebee logos. This project is specifically designed for multi-material 3D printers like the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro (AD5X) or printers equipped with an AMS/MMU.
🚀 Overview
This OpenSCAD project generates a "key-style" trolley chip. Unlike a simple round coin, this design includes a 45mm handle for easy insertion and removal from trolley slots. It supports up to 4 different colors in a single print.
Features
- Front Side: Deep-engraved Atari Logo.
- Back Side: Deep-engraved Firebee Logo.
- Handle: Customized "logo_text.svg" inlay and a 5mm keychain hole.
- Parametric Design: Fully adjustable via OpenSCAD.
- Optimized for AD5X: Designed to be printed with the first layer facing the bed for a perfectly smooth logo finish.
🛠 Print Settings (Optimized for 0.4mm Nozzle)
To achieve the best results with the fine logo details, use the following settings:
| Parameter | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Layer Height | 0.15mm (0.2mm for First Layer) |
| Wall Loops | 4 (Important for handle strength) |
| Top/Bottom Shells | 5 |
| Infill | 30% (Gyroid or Honeycomb) |
| First Layer Speed | 15–20 mm/s (Slow is critical for inlays) |
| Z-Hop | 0.4mm |
| Prime Tower | Enabled (Prevents color bleeding) |
📖 How to Use
1. Preparation
Place your SVG files in the same folder as the .scad file:
logo_atari.svglogo_firebee.svglogo_text.svg
2. Exporting STLs
In OpenSCAD, use the export_mode variable to render and export the four individual parts:
chip->base.stl(The main body)atari->inlay_atari.stlfirebee->inlay_firebee.stltext->inlay_text.stl
3. Slicing (Crucial Step)
- Import all 4 STLs into your slicer at once.
- When prompted: "Load as a single object with multiple parts?", select YES.
- Ensure the parts are merged/grouped correctly in the object list.
- Check the Preview: Look at Layer 1. Ensure the slicer isn't "over-printing" the logos with the base color. The base should leave exact gaps for the inlays.
4. Color Selection
For maximum contrast, we recommend:
- Base: Black or Dark Grey
- Atari Logo: Red or White
- Firebee Logo: Pink or Orange
- Handle Text: Light Blue or Lime Green
📸 Screenshot Mode
The code includes a built-in toggle for documentation. Set show_screenshot_view = true; in OpenSCAD to see a perfectly centered, side-by-side view of both the front and back of the key.
