Stepper (clicking) Cryptex

cults3d

Rather straightforward, clicking Cryptex. You can conceal paper currency (in full length version), coins, or a USB drive inside it. Alternatively, use it to keep track of scores or lives in tabletop games. Based on the Modular Life Counter base model from Cults3D, I created this design. The idea originated from a photo of a Cryptex in an online store. Without knowing all its components, I pondered how it functioned and then developed my version. To print this design, you'll need to create: * One bottom part (or bot_3 for 3 rings) * A top piece (or top_3), which may require supports; set the support settings to 'everywhere' * A locking ring * Optionally, a locking ring tool * Three or seven ring_inside pieces and ring_numbers I printed this model with a 0.4mm nozzle at a 0.2mm layer height. After printing, you might need to sand it for smooth operation, but remember that the ring_inside part should fit snugly into the ring_numbers. Changing the lock number can be a bit tricky sometimes. Simply grasp the ring and gently push out the ring_inside piece with a flat tool. Rotate the ring slightly and then push again. Repeat this process until you achieve the desired result.
