This KRYPTEX is a longer variant of Hiob's 6-wheel cryptex. With a billion possible combinations as opposed to a million, it's a bit harder to crack. Hence the unambiguously hard K instead of a C in the name. ;-)
Hiob's design is based on CloudJ's design, which is nicely demonstrated on YouTube.

Print nine outer wheels. Print one of every other piece. See which size of inner wheel fits best, then print eight more of that size.
How I Designed This
I extended parts A and B of Hiob's cryptex design by 36.6 mm to accommodate 3 more discs.
Filament Selection & Finishing Touches
I selected the following materials:
- ColorFabb™ steelFill™ filament for the decagonal endpieces of parts A and B; black PLA for the cylindrical sections
- Dark brown PLA for inner wheels
- Cherry wood PLA for outer wheels
I sanded the steel- and wood-infused parts a bit and brushed them with steel wool. This improved the appearance and lightened the color of non-recessed areas so that numerals and index marks stand out. I sanded the sides of the assembled wheels a little till they all turned easily.
