Enigma wheels

thingiverse

It's a coding/decoding "machine" that I designed from scratch for an Escape Game (my very first design). Each wheel has a different number of spokes (2, 3, 4 or 5) that gives numerous possibilities in the game: 2 and 3 spokes wheel: alphabet randomly printed 4 spokes: alphabet from A to Z 5 spokes: runic alphabet -made with Csenge font (by Fontana on Dafont.com) I was inspired by this video (amazing work!) where you will see how the wheels may be used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibUV-bxcCZA Only the wheels are 3D printed. For the base you need a piece of wood, MDF or any hard material, 3 rivets (or any type of pins) for the wheel axles, and 3 pushpins (as markers). My first attempt at creating 3D with Fusion 360. Machine to encode/decode created last year for an Escape Game. The way to use different wheels is visible on this video which inspired me (from a distance only, because this box is a marvel that I'm not ready to be able to copy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibUV-bxcCZA The wheel with 4 spokes has an alphabet in order, the ones with 2 and 3 spokes are in disorder. To give more choice, I also made a wheel (5 spokes) with a runic-style alphabet (Csenge font by Fontana on Dafont.com) Only the wheels are 3D printed. You will need: - BASE: 1 piece of wood or MDF or any solid material (in my case, a layer of laminated flooring). - AXLES OF WHEELS: 3 rivets, bolts or others, to be fixed firmly in the base. - MARKERS FOR THE MEASURES: 3 pushpins (or only 2, in my case, since the middle wheel didn't have another reason to be there than to serve as a gear).
