Customizable Cryptex Puzzle Vault
Made by RetroRob
A Cryptex is a clever secret vault that is secured by a word code. To open the Cryptex, you must turn the rings to spell the appropriate code word or phrase. This laser cut design allows you to select your own code, and you can also make a Cryptex with virtually any number of rings! The design can also be easily modified to support different thicknesses of material. Customize it by putting on your own graphics. Great gift!

Commercial- KBKirsten B.Verified ReviewerRated 3 out of 5 stars10 months agoDifficult and fragile
I am in awe of the mind that thought this up, but I am too clumsy to build it easily. I did get one built that functions, but I had to enlarge the hole cut to pull up the container. I broke many pieces trying to build the cage, and finally designed one that just used solid rings. I love the concept, I’m just too klutzy to build it as designed.

I have been making my own files for quite a while and only recently started using premade files since we got a Glowforge at work. This is a GREAT file with very easy to follow instructions! It came out wonderful with one exception that was totally my own fault. I accidentally glued a piece to tight but it was pretty simple to just reprint the necessary parts and viola... my puzzle was complete!
This puzzle box will be a nice addition to our box of Escape Room props! Thanks for providing a great piece!

Great plans that cut easily on the Glowforge. Great instructions on how to glue the project together. Just some sanding to make sure things fit smoothly and the project was finished. Everything about this project went together great. Made this for a grandson who will really enjoy it.
