10 letter Cryptex v2 with Cyrillic letters

This is a remix of 10 letter Cryptex v2 by VortyZA.

I added 10 different rings with Cyrillic letters. I chose letters on each ring so that most Russian words could be spelled. More details on github; the python script could be easily adapted to other languages which have more than 26 characters. I also include a ring with a circle indicating the correct position for shorter words.

The OpenSCAD script could be used to easily deboss any other alphabets/symbols onto the ring.

Note: Assembly of this model requires glueing. I used UHU Allplast, but I suppose CA glue or 2-component epoxy should work. Even though glueing is involved the code could be easily changed unlimited number of times.

Build instructions

(here I mostly copy from VortyZA)

Print:

• 10x different letter rings (1-10) 
• (optional) 1-7x blank-circle rings; e.g. if you print 5 blank-circle rings you can set the code which is between 5 and 10 letters, if you don't print them your word should always have 10 letters.
• 10x Letter encoder (These can be fairly coarsely printed if you like - .3mm layers anyone?). I had some bed adhesion issues which were fixed by enabling outer brim. 
• (optional) Arrow indicator, looks nice in a different color. I successfully printed without a brim, but depends on your bed adhesion.
• Inner Core
• Inner Core End Cap
• Outer Core
• Outer Core Retainer

Depending on your printer you should be able to print 5 letter rings or 5 encoder rings in one go. Each part should already be in the correct orientation so that no support is necessary when printing.

Think of a 5-10 character word (depends on the number of blank-circle rings), like ДВИЖЕНИЕ and make the 10 encoding rings; you might need to play a bit with the ring order to make sure the word can be spelled. If the word is shorter than 10 letters just put some blank-circle rings around it.

The encoding wheels are made by combining a Letter Encoder and a letter rings. The encoder ring should be slightly recessed inside the Letter ring, making sure that the slot is lined up with the letter for that individual wheel.

The wheel can then be slid over the Outer Core with the beveled side towards the open end (The flat stepped side towards the closed side). When the cylinder is held horizontally with the open end to your right then the letter should be in the correct orientation. If this is incorrect then the wheel won't turn..

Once all 10 wheels are in place the Outer Core retainer should screw on and hold them in place and also the slot in the retainer lined up with the slot in the Outer Core. This should not stop the wheels from turning or be so loose that the wheels rattle about.

The Inner Core must be glued into the Inner Core End Cap using something like CA or 2 part epoxy glue, then the whole thing is completed!
