For the steps about assembling the cryptex, I have added some exploded views made in CAD. I will also include the files for building one yourself. In this instructable I will describe the process and thoughts behind the different features in the cryptex and how I build it. The cryptex has a total of 343 parts that are glued together. In this project I developed 3 versions, an initial prototype to see if I could construct the basic mechanics in the cryptex, a second version that had a more aesthetically pleasing design, and the third and final version that had some improvements, that I came up with on my own. This project has been made on a laser cutter that I used at FabLab Innovation (since seeing the movie - the Da Vinci Code - I have been fascinated with the cryptex, a small scale combination vault, that can only be unlocked by entering the right word on the scroll, allowing the user to pull out a tube which contains some sort of secret.I decided to construct my own cryptex using laser cut parts, by that I mean only laser cut parts. Medite Premier MDF retains the light tan colour of the wood fibre from which it is manufactured.
