3D-Printable Keychain Camera Keymera Hits Crowdfunding Goal

Designed by Matej Nahtigal, the Keymera is a fully operational 3D-printed keychain camera that has exceeded its $1,500 funding target on Maker World, attracting 66 backers with 28 days left in the campaign. The camera consists of five printed components and four electronic parts, including a 3-megapixel sensor, and can be put together at home using a soldering iron in approximately two hours. It operates with a single button for waking the camera and taking photos, offering a Wi-Fi gallery for easy downloads to a phone without needing an app or account. Available shell styles include SLR-inspired, rangefinder, and Instant camera-inspired, with a potential fourth TLR style if stretch goals are achieved. Early bird backer tiers begin at $10, while a commercial license costs $99. The project prioritizes simplicity and privacy, avoiding AI features, metadata collection, and account requirements.
