Stepper (clicking) Cryptex

thingiverse

You just click Cryptex. Simple as that. You can stash paper money, coins, or even a USB drive inside it. Or use it to keep track of scores or lives in tabletop games. This project started with the base model from Modular Life Counter on Cults3D (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/clicking-modular-life-counter). The idea came from a Cryptex picture I saw online. I figured out how it worked, even though I didn't know all its parts at first, and then created my own version. To print this project, you'll need: * One bottom part (or bot_3 for 3 rings) * Top (or top_3) - This one needs supports, so set it to "everywhere" * Locking ring * Locking ring tool (optional) * 3 or 7 ring_inside parts and ring_numbers Print with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height. You might need to sand the parts for smooth use, but remember that the ring_inside should fit snugly into the ring_numbers. If you want to change the lock number, it can be a bit tricky sometimes. Just take the ring in your hand, push out the ring_inside part a little with something flat, rotate it, and push again. Repeat this process until it's done.
