Some one asked me to share the files for my 3D printed telegraph key. So I am going to do that.
Here is a link to the STL file for the key parts.

There are 3 files that print the base, key and upper bracket separately. All of the holes are included but they are undersized. Some you will drill larger and others are tapped. There is a horizontal hole in the key to run a wire back from the top key contact and the same is true for the base. I printed at 100% fill using ABS. HIPS would work well also. The magnetic damping instead of a spring works really well. The 4-40 contact screws need to be filed flat after being nipped to size.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
