Cryptex simplified (locked secret container)

thingiverse

This is a simplified CRYPTEX (a locked container) , a cryptex without any numbers printed on. This feature leaves the user free to create the combination he would like in an original way! Add SYMBOLES, LETTERS, DRAWINGS, DOTS....GET CREATIVE !!! To give you inspiration, i drew one little dot on each roulette, and when the dots are in a specific pattern, the lock will open and reveal its content. (see picture above) I MUST SAY THIS ISNT THE BEST CRYPTEX OUT THERE FOR A FEW REASONS here's why: -Roulettes needs to be really straight to open it (SAND DOWN the sides of the rectangles) -A little bit too much space between the roulettes and the body -The first rectangle needs a little sanding down -Able to see the location of the notch on the first roulette from the outside -Cap needs to be glued -If the cap isnt properly glued on, roulettes might have too much space and someone could see the combination from the outside WARNING: when creating the symbols, make sure the roulettes are lined up with the subtle mark on the outside of the container ! or else your combination will be messed up.
