Lock Puzzle - Cryptex

Discover the fascinating world of mechanics with this lock puzzle!

This unique 3D-printed puzzle offers an exciting challenge for all ages. The scroll features four rotating number dials, each displaying the numbers 0 to 9.

By setting a custom four-digit code, the hidden compartment inside is unlocked, perfect for storing small treasures or secret messages.

Whether as a brain teaser or a creative storage solution, the Number Scroll provides an interactive experience suitable for both young and old alike.

Installation:

Set your own code:

The number you want should line up with the slot

Assembling:

Insert the 4 dials and 3 spacers. Make sure that the spacer sits inside the slot of the dial.

Update 16.09.24: Changed the end piece so it´s not getting loose so easily.

Printed nicely, and assembled easily. The only issue I have is it's a bit too easy to force open like it's not catching to actually lock

Thank you for your feedback! I intentionally designed it that way so you can open it with a bit of force when you lost the code :)

Ah that makes sense! If you ever get the urge to make a design like the one seen in the Da Vinci Code I'd love to print that XD

That's actually where I got the inspiration from 😅

@user_555111556

The fins/bumps on the 'key' are too short to even catch minimal friction. I get it if you want to be able force it apart, but this is ridiculous. make a key with higher bumps

@Etl210

I remixed the inner core because of this issue and fixed it. cant force it open (easily at least) https://makerworld.com/en/models/916630#profileId-878118

Awesome! That works MUCH better!

the fins are facing the wrong way, meaning the tray can be pulled out even if the numbers are wrong, which makes the whole product useless; nevertheless, the design is nice.

This is truly an incredibly amazing model. Printed with the P1S using PLA (gold, silver), perfect result. It's easy to assemble. I will use it this weekend for a treasure hunt at K1's birthday party. Thank you!

A cryptex is a known mechanism. I have definitely never seen your model before and therefore have not copied it. We even have a different solution for the mechanism...

@user_4138334726

if you actually looked you would see its different

@dave1010

Printed in white PLA then colored in with metallic and black Sharpie. Amazing print - the biggest thing I've printed on my A1 mini so far. Couple of suggestions: - make the bitings on the inner key piece higher so it can't be forced - make the notches bevelled, so they don't have to line up perfectly - make the wheels slightly decagon shaped inside, so they "click" into place on each number I have no idea how to do this myself and it's already a great model!

I recently completed this 3D print to use as a 'gift wrapper' for someone that wanted to have money. The design is fantastic. However, I did notice that the inner container has about half a centimeter of play while the cryptex is locked. It might be worth addressing that gap for a tighter fit.If you’re planning to use different colors for the spacers between the numbered ring, just a quick tip: remember to place them on a separate plate before printing. Overall, this project was a joy to print—well thought out and executed beautifully. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun project!

Awesome, this is one of my favourite prints. thank you! One suggestion, the final ring holding the numbers together would come off pretty easy as I tried to unlock it, sometimes causing it to get stuck. It would also slip off pretty easy with minimal force. I ended up glueing it, now works perfectly, however i won’t be able to change the code. Maybe something to look at. Thanks again!

The rings were a bit too big, So I had to tape some on the inside. Also, the locking studs on the inner cylinder was a bit short. It could be perfect with some modifications. It turned out great otherwise. I put a whisky sample inside as a gift :)
