Hello.
I was looking for a cryptex that is somewhat fancy and with customize password. Didn't find any that I liked so I made one myself in Autodesk Inventor 2016 (best 3d modeling software in my opinion).
This cryptex is made so that the password is "IronMan". You could switch the letters and create some other password, but i never tried. However, if you want different letters, like "B" or whatever, just let me know in the comments, I'll upload it ASAP.
For this specific one you'll need:
all letters x1 each
closing ring x2
handle left top x1
handle left bottom x1
handle right top x1
handle right bottom x1
Unfortunately, I did not manage to make both handles identical, but they are super alike.
After you print all parts necessary, you'll need to glue some things.
Take "Handle Left Top" and put the "Closing Ring" on it so that the arrow points outside of the handle, right above the cut out slot. Glue them together.
Next, put all the letters on in the desirable order, put the last "Closing Ring" on so that the arrow points to the letters, right above the slot. Glue the ring to the tube.
Lastly, glue the "Handles" together, right to right and left to left.
Now it should be all together. you can try if it all fits nicely.
If you have any questions, put them in the comments. I'll answer ASAP.
Thank you.
