Created some different sizes to see which would work with a proper maze. The 2/5 size is too small, its perfect for a simple maze without any traps but it would be very difficult to work with for anything more complex.

The 1/2 size is much better, gives a bit more room to design a maze and have a spring and pin.

The 3/5 looks and feels good but its just too big to be a decent keyring.

Now the hard part... build the maze. (And find some small springs!!!)

But how do they fit in the pocket?

I'm a keyring minimalist. The only things I usually have on my keyring are: home key, office key, mailbox, and a beer key. Anything more than that is just too much. Thus, to add something like this, it needs to fit nicely in the pocket. It would be even better if it helped keep the other keys better organized or crossed over with my beer key :p. I have to say, I like the idea of the 2/5 size, even if it is simple. Maybe the core could be a toothpick holder.
OOOOOOOoo

I agree with Maztec. When you build one to sell ;) small, small, small :!:

Not small enough :(


As for the size in general, think of it more as a novelty keyring. Chances are I'd never use it. (Like the other 1400 or so :oops: )

They have a lot of sizes. Not sure what you're looking for.

I wonder if a small rubber bead could be used as an alternative to a spring :?: :?: :?:
