<h3>Note: I've included the Fusion 360 file and the Meshmixer file for anyone who wants to take this remix in their own direction.</h3> <h3>License information:</h3> The cryptex design follows Brabus453's Excalibur cryptex license at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3077123. The Daedric sword hilt is licensed under the same terms as Qbatronix's Daedric Dagger that I used to create it, available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2996429/comments. <h3>Printing instructions:</h3> You'll need to print all STL files except for the Daedric swords - choose either the straight or curved version, as you won't need both. <h3>User feedback:</h3> The rings can be tricky to turn; I've found that applying machine grease between them and on the cylinder yields good results. Overall, this is a functional V1 remix that works as intended. <h1>Description</h1> I saw Brabus453's Excalibur cryptex and fell in love with the concept. However, I didn't like that the combination was fixed or that it was heavily King Arthur themed. So I took the original design, scaled it down to 50%, removed all text, reworked the arrow design, made the combination changeable by splitting the rings into two parts, transformed it into a Skyrim-themed cryptex with Dovahzul combinations and a Daedric sword (using the original blade required for locking). I optimized many aspects for the smaller size (changed the shape of the locking pins on the sword, increased space in the rings, etc.). Taking it further, I added a click-snap system so each ring has a resting state; when you try to turn one, it adds strain. When it returns to its natural position, you get a clicking feedback as it slides into place.
