Recently the stupid TSA "unlock" my luggage in Orlando and did not turn to "Lock" position after they check my Tumi Luggage that happen to have TSA0002 key on the locking system. so in my search for the key, i came across this article and did 3D printed TSA0002 with the file provided. but im facing a problem, the key doesn't even fit in the insert. please advise or can someone send other link. thanks

The 2 key is generally known to work, so there's a good chance the issue is in the printer calibration.

Is the key too wide, or too thick? If it's too thick I'd start by trying to sand the top side down a bit untill it fits. If it's too wide, you should measure it with calipers to see how far off it is compared to the target dimensions.

You can also try scaling down the problem dimension in your slicer. For example if the keys are coming out too thick, you might try setting the Z scale to .98 - .95.

Yes, the manufacturing tolerances of locks have been found to be surprisingly lenient, so a need to adjust the width of printed keys is to be expected on occasion. Also be aware the plastic expands & contracts due to environmental effects, so it may take several tries and some tweaking to get a key that works.

Thanks,
