‘Course the movie left out the second cryptex inside the first one. No tempered glass when the thing was supposed to have been made. Should be possible with a high speed diamond burr/drill to put a hole through the glass without shattering it. Then the thing could be smashed apart to get at the paper. When I read that book and got to the part about the glass vial of vinegar and the message printed on papyrus, which the vinegar would supposedly destroy… I was thinking mount the thing in a jig at an angle then carefully drill up from underneath it into the glass vial while having a strong vacuum to pull the vinegar down and out so it won’t get to the paper.

Lining up the rings to spell the correct word allows the inner chamber to slide free of the whole assembly, revealing whatever goodies may lie inside. An outer chamber holds the rings in place and prohibits access to the interior chamber, which is held in place on both sides by an end cap. After embossing the alphabet across each ring, adds slots into the inner loops for pins to slide through. If you’re a regular reader of our 3D Printering column, then the behind-the-scenes screengrabs should look familiar: used Autodesk Inventor to sculpt the shapes, staring with the cryptex’s individual rings. If your first layer is too squashed when printing the letters you could have a little too much play or space between the the end and the last letter if they are all compressed together.Once you’ve dialed in your 3D printer calibration settings, you enter the phase of printer ownership where you’re eager to show off what you can make, and you’re sure to impress with 3d printed cryptex spinning around in your hands. The height of the letters leave 0.1mm between each ring by design so they can move freely. rey eSun filament and the rest with black, then dry-brushed them with silver and gold paint respectively. I printed the letter rings using a blue-g. Just a note: If you do make a remix - please link to this original? Seeing makes and remixes makes the design effort worthwhile! :) I've also added a letter dial with no letters or grip in case you want to use wingdings or egyptian hieroglyphs or whatever! To make it easier for people to make spinoffs I've uploaded variants without the grip and pattern. I see that a few versions of this have popped up and a few things are often changed: The grip on the letter dial and the pattern on the outer core are removed and the letters are replaced or made inset instead of outset. When the inner core is in place the retainer won't be able to unscrew. The outer core retainer is there to keep all the letters in place and should be screwed in making sure that the slot lines up with the key slot.
When putting the letter rings and encoding rings together they should only fit one way, then when sliding them on to the outer core with the spring clips in place you might find it useful to rotate the ring so that it rides over the springs. To put the sprint clips in place, put one side into one of the side holes, then compress it and push the other side of the spring into the other side hole. The outer core decorative top also gets glued on to the outer core for decoration purposes. The inner core and the inner core decorative top need to be glued together with some decent glue (I used 2 part epoxy). It makes a good chunky paperweight! 300grams or so!ġx Outer Core Retainer (with or without pattern) Hopefully no toes were trampled in the making thereof. It is made using inspiration from all over the Internet.
It does not hold a lot, but I think it looks cool!Īll parts are printable without supports as long as your printer supports 45 degree overhangs or the occasional bridge. The plastic springs give positive feedback to assist with lining the letters up - I'd imagine that printing them with a different filament would change their 'clickiness' - the PLA made for quite a robust click! :)
It is re-programmable so that I can use it again another day with a different password. I couldn't find a 10 character one, so I ma. I made it for a puzzle challenge that I was running. This is a re-programmable 10 character cryptex tube.
