Custom Cryptex

thingiverse

Look at instructions carefully for detailed specifications. This rewritten version is a work-in-progress that functions but requires improvement in several areas. Your ideas and feedback are greatly appreciated. The following are points that I aim to enhance in the future: Design of the flashdrive case, specifically eliminating the need for glue and reducing post-processing requirements Connection between cover and jacket, favoring methods over glue whenever possible Numbering on the rings, refining printer settings to achieve optimal results Instructions to Print: The following STL files must be printed: USBCaseA.stl, USBCaseB.stl, Cover.stl, Jacket.stl, Spacer.stl (3x), and RingX (4x, configured with your preferred combination) For the case, disassemble the flashdrive and insert the circuit board into the two halves of. Printed supports were used, and slight adjustments might be necessary due to individual drive designs. Next, glue the two halves together along with the drive, using a suitable adhesive. ABS material works well; PLA users may require slow-hardening epoxy for a reliable bond. Secure your printed number rings to the jacket by adding spacers to ensure proper alignment. Locking the cryptex requires precise positioning. To complete the project, apply glue between the Cover and Jacket, immobilizing the rings. At this point, the finished product should be functional and enjoyable to use. !!!New Customizable Rings!!! A customizable ring system has been implemented using OpenSCAD scripting. This feature allows users to personalize their rings with various options: Unlocking position for your custom setup Symbol selection (letters, numbers, or special signs) To utilize this feature, download the provided zip-file and execute the following steps within OpenSCAD: 1. Import CustomizableRingRev1.scad. 2. Enter parameters according to your preferences. 3. Compile with F6 and export as STL
