thingiverse

Create a hexadecimal cryptex puzzle geocache. To do this, you'll need to print out an inner case for your desired size of cryptex, which can be 3, 4, or 5 digits. You'll also need to print the top and bottom parts of the inner case, as well as (n-1) inner rings where n is the number of digits in your cryptex. Next, you'll need to print out the wheels for your desired code. To do this, select Print Settings from your 3D printer's menu. Here are some specific settings to use: Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer Model: Mini Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes After printing all of the parts, file them down to make sure they're smooth and can rotate freely. Then, use superglue to stick the parts together. Be careful not to glue the rotating wheels to the inner ring. This cryptex puzzle geocache was designed in SolidWorks using a combination of 3D modeling and printing techniques.
