Cryptex Type_a. Flash Drive Holder/wallet

Hello

On this manual I added drawings for assembly classical Cryptex (on my cryptex family it has name type_a)

Cryptex can be assembled from brass/ aluminium pipes or from solid metal block using lathe

For assembling from pipes you'll need

1. Pipes

d18.25mm d20.25mm

d20.5mm d22.5mm

d22.75mm d24mm

2. Saw

3. File

4. Soldering iron

For assembling using lathe you'll need

1. Lathe

2. Solid metal blocks

2. Wood

3. Correct drawings for wood like wood pipes

Internal External

d24mm d32mm

d32mm d40mm

d40mm d48mm

4. Glue, sandpaper

For first time try to make cryptex from wood

For 3D printing

1. Correct Drawings for your type of 3d printer

2. Add correction for dimmension

(on metalworking i use 0.1-0.25mm step in all parts)

On step 1 I’ll show you how to assembly from parts.

On step 2 check for drawings that I create in Autocad Inventor 2015 especially for instructables.com
