PyCon 3D printed keychain
by Aakanksha Aug. 31, 2020

Aug. 31, 2020

Hello everyone, I designed a keychain for Pycon 2020 and 3D printed it[1][2]. I have released the design on thingiverse[3] so that the community can print it as well, under the same license as the assets in Pycon India 2020 repository[4]. I have tried my best to design it in a way that it can be printed by anyone on a single extruder printer. However, considering everyone does not have access to a 3d printer and filament can only be bought in quantities such as 1kg which is again very expensive to print a 5-10 gram keychain, some folks reached out to me wanting to buy the keychain. The logo and the keychain are both under a creative commons non-commercial license and I require permission from PyCon 2020 organisers before undertaking any such commercial venture. I do have limited knowledge about licensing and seek organisers' and senior members' advice. I believe making this available to the community will serve a dual purpose: 1. Provide a memento for the year PyCon happened online and bring it a little closer to our homes 2. I will be donating a part of the profits for COVID relief.
