But even there, do your parent have winrar or similar installed? I’m not sure how big it is with the non-tech crowd. I think a better way would be to go for an encrypted RAR, that’s more universally present and ‘a thing’ and it has encryption. You think his parents have PGP installed in their -no-doubt- gmail account? (and a key prepared.) Does Gmail even support it? Or do you have to pre-encrypt? But isn’t that against Google’s spy-EULA? Learned my lesson and got a handful of duplicates made after that adventure. Got to work with rat files and was able to duplicate it! Didn’t work first try, but with nothing to lose but time and a lot of money, kept at it and got a working key. Traced the key out in illustrator, scaled it to 1:1, cut it out with a hobby knife and glued it to the key. Ordered the 4 possible blanks for that year of motorcycle. I thought “I bet I can make a key from this photo” While I was looking at the photo of the useless number stamped on the key and being regaled with the horrid details of what this was going to cost me. That was not a cheap solution, would have cost me more than the bike did. That their only option was to sell a new ignition, fork lock and fuel tank (after finding someone crazy enough to drill out a lock in a gas tank). Called the dealer nearby and casually asked for the key, found out it wasn’t that simple.
I noticed the key had a number stamped on it, took a photo of it assuming I’d just need that number and the VIN to get a replacement if I ever lost the key. I was new to riding, bought this bike secondhand and it only had one key. I had a similar problem with a Honda motorcycle. Posted in 3d Printer hacks Tagged 3d print, lock, locksport, mailbox Post navigation Locksport is a popular pastime for hardware hackers. Picking locks isn’t just for getting the mail. Back in 2013, he submitted a parametric bump key model to Thingiverse. This particular mailbox uses a 4 pin tumbler, which makes it a bit less forgiving than other mailbox locks we’ve seen.Īdmittedly this isn’t first time working with locks. It took three revisions before the perfect key popped out of the printer. He then printed it out, and the box didn’t open. He did his modeling in Autodesk’s free Fusion 360 CAD software. However, this is the first time we’ve seen the technique put to use for good – in this case avoiding a hefty lock replacement fee. Using a photograph as a template for a 3D printed copy is nothing new. Instead he had his parents email a photo of the key, which he used to 3D print his own copy. He could have had the building super replace the lock, for a fee of course. With the mail quickly piling up in the mailbox, he needed to get in there. When parents went away on vacation, they took the apartment mailbox key with them.
