It requires some knowledge of the tolerances of the specific printer and lock. For example, the disc detainer model has wider cutouts than the discs require to account for blobbing corners on the print.
Using something like a Formlabs 1 printer, that probably is no longer necessary.

- emhart 13y agoI was fairly annoyed that Forbes failed to acknowledge the Disc Detainer work, dismissing your 3D printing like so: "though Patel’s software only dealt with normal keys that can already be duplicated by any hardware store."
