8-character cryptex

This cryptex can only be opened if you know the 8 letter code. It is a variation on my previous design with 5 characters.

 

It is fully configurable by setting the inner ring within the letter rings, just align the notch with the letter.

 

There are 6 types of components:

• the outer box (the rings will be placed around this cylinder)
• 8 character spacers (these spacers are placed in between the letters)
• 1 end spacer (this is the spacer that will be placed at the closing end)
• 8 character rings
• 8 inner character rings, used for configuring the code
• the inner box (the box that slides in and out)

Here are some photos to help you:

1. the character ring with inner configuration ring
2. end spacer (place it at end of your character stack and twist it in place)
3. top view of fully configured cryptex, without the inner box

 

 

Enjoy!!
