SpiKey - The Cactus Wall Mounted Keyholder

Instructions Hardware Filaments

Spikey - Advanced

This cactus that spikes when it holds your keys! Designed after the cactus toothpick holder, one of my most popular models.

This design has been in the works for a long long time. It was an idea ever since I first saw Lofted Good's viral wall mounted plant pot video showcasing this quilted planter. And now it's finally come to life!

Update I have added a command strip wall mount option for this pot! You will need to cut the command strip short to 43 mm long so that it fits snugly in the wall mount. Component link below.

This pairs super well with the Blooming Cactikeys

How to use? The planter slots into the mount on the wall. A hook or magnet is used to hold your keys. When you place your keys under the pot, the weight of the keys raises a mechanism inside the cactus causing the spikes to shoot out!


But How does it work? The spines are 3d printed sticks. They poke out the holes in the cactus and are supported by a mechanism

The spikes are lifted by the internal gear mechanism, that translates the linear motion of the keys being lowered, into an upward motion that shoots the spikes out.

I wish there was an adapter to mount this on the trellis system.

I'm having trouble with the mechanism in this print. It seems that, even with printing the pole with 6 walls and 25% infill, it's not heavy enough to "spring" the hook back into the closed position when removing keys. I printed the Cactikeys and it works perfectly, but I did use a battery in it for weight. Do you have any recommendations for this?

Hi, that is definitely frustrating but I think I can help with this. When I see this issue, it is often that one or more of the components have slightly curled during printing, causing it to get caught on another part of the mechanism. I would suggest checking all of the parts for any indication of curling and reprinting any part that could have curled.
