Codable Combination Lock Vault- Print in Place

cults3d

Back in early 2021, I had the absurd idea. I thought it'd be cool to make a print in place box, with a hinged lid, and an enclosed locking mechanism. This idea evolved into a a print in place combination lock. I wasn't able to convert my original design to a working combination lock, but I wasn't deterred. Early 2022, fueled with excessive ambition, a stock in filament, and lots of coffee I got back to work. Starting from the ground up, I designed the lock again. I know that the first layer has an adverse effect on print in place parts. To combat this, the locking mechanism is designed to print with only one moving part touching the build plate. This combination lock solves just like combination locks back in highschool for your old locker. Clockwise 3 times to pick up all the pins. Counter Clockwise past the first answer once, then to the number. Clockwise to the last number. This print is a torture test, and should not be attempted if you do not have your printer reasonably dialed in. That being said, this was designed to print on my Creality Ender 3 Pro with no mods, and my Prusa MK3 and my Prusa Mini. This print relies on layers being breakable after printing, if your temp is too high, your retraction settings aren't dialed in, or you don't abide the layer height requirements, you may fuse parts together. This would make it hard to operate the lock.
