2026-01-31 (Sa) HandcuffKey24 It worked! Once.

I never gave up on the idea of integrating a handcuff key with a whistle. Someone advised me to reorient the key shaft so the seams would be stronger for turning. I repositioned the key shaft on the whistle so it stuck out of the top. The flag drooped slightly but was mostly intact. The new direction helped immensely because I opened the handcuffs! I tried a second time, but the flag broke, so the key is a last resort. The print was functional but not easy to carry. I need to figure out how to print a whistle that is shaped like a key, but oriented properly.
