You can now 3D print your Kwikset keys
Interesting post. Going to have to follow this project to see if other keys, like newer style car keys, end up here. https://hackaday.io/project/27631-3d-printing-real-world-keys

Interesting hack to get a cheap laser CNC to work with LaserWeb
Never heard of LaserWeb (I think its Opensource). Anyways the author uses it to control a cheap laser engraver he got from china. Convert that Cheap Laser Engraver to 100% Open-Source Toolchain
