An ink stick (430) for use in a solid ink feed system of a phase change ink jet printer (10) includes at least first and second three dimensional ink stick body portions (431A,431B). Each ink stick body portion includes a perimeter section that is substantially the same as a corresponding section of a keyed insertion opening in the solid ink feed system. Each ink stick body portion also includes a joint perimeter section that is the complement of the joint perimeter section of the other ink stick body portion, so that the first and second ink stick body portions fit together. <IMAGE>
