Variable Numerical Cryptex

prusaprinters

<p>Cryptex with a 6-digit numerical combination. The combination can be changed to any number 000000 - 999999, but only when the device is open.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Update:</strong> Added the reworked retaining ring file by<em>Inglebard</em>. For some users, the reworked version seems to work better.</p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>Print the following:</p> <p>1x tube_outer</p> <p>1x tube_inner</p> <p>1x ring_end</p> <p>6x ring_inner</p> <p>6x ring_outer</p> <p>Make sure the ring pieces are laying flat and the tube pieces are laying on their larger ends during printing for optimal results. Supports recommended, though some pieces (especially ring_outer) have been successful without them.</p> <p>Insert a ring_inner into each ring_outer with the notch aligned to the desired number. Slide each ring section onto the tube_outer with the notches aligned to the slot. Attach ring_end to tube_outer by inserting it with the smooth side facing outwards and one of the notches aligned with the slot. Turn ring_end clockwise to lock the assembly in place.</p> <p>To close, insert tube_inner into the assembly and scramble the combination. To re-open, align the combination with the markings on tube_inner and tube_outer and remove tube_inner.</p> Category: Puzzles
