3D Printable Password Generator

I created this password generator to strengthen my existing passwords without writing them down or using an online manager. I designed it so that passwords can be easily recalled by following your own personal password algorithm. For example, you could have a simple algorithm where you only need to remember a four-letter word like DOGS. Then, use the rings on the tumbler to allocate special characters and numbers to each letter. If your ring order is 1-2-3-4, then DOGS looks something like D*#O@1G$2S22 or D*#O@1G$2S22. Now you have made a secure password with only four letters. You can increase the strength of your passwords by coming up with your own algorithm and switching up the order of the rings. The more creative and memorable your algorithm is, the stronger your password will be. The single-ringed tumbler works in the same way, except you are limited to one set of characters. You can unscrew the caps on both tumblers to store small flash drives, micro SD cards, pieces of paper, or anything else that fits inside. Just don't write any passwords or codes there, as that defeats the purpose. The "board" is a way to backup the characters in case you lose the tumbler. The order is Ring 1, then 2, 3, and 4. Print a couple of them; they're the size of credit cards and will save you in an emergency.
