Yes, my original was wood, but the acrylic was a great contrast and then you can see what is in the box right away. Also made is smooth, so it slides more easily. Also used hidden bolts to hold it together so I could change this easily.

Oh, I printed that too. 
I have a long way to go, but thank you.
You might also notice in one picture the acrylic is cloudy. I made rookie mistake of using super glue. Fortunately I designed it to allow me to replace it with one bolt,

Itās beautiful in the two different woods! Wow!
This morning I was thinking that I have less than a month to do something for my husbandās birthday. A Cryptex has been on my mind. Not sure Iāll have time for this year ā¦ but, will use two different woods when I do! Beautiful!

Amazing something like this never would have crossed my mind if it wasnt for you. I need one of these i my life, off to the store to pick up some more supplies.

@Aloha, the one you pointed out on the Instructables was the one I was going to make, but I really loved the fact that the one I made had the ability to change the code and change the size. If i print more rings, it will be longer; if I want a shorter one, take out a few rings. Easily adaptable. But I do love the one you linked. I may make that some time as well.

Thank you. The community and sharing are a big part of why I am doing this. Having designs that helped me to think out new ideas, especially with Aphantasia. Having projects like this to help me learn and grow are critical. As I spend more time with the tools they start to translate to things I can design myself.

Wow, I love what you did with the letters. That was one of the things that I found most difficult, was making sure all of that got lined up. I actually saw your post after I had completed mine. If I had seen it before I probably wouldāve done it the way you did. Your work is amazing.
Very nice.

Have you found any better instructions on how to put it together? Iāve cut all the pieces but struggling to understand how it all fits together. Some pieces donāt seem to fit right. Please let me know if you know of anything. I really need help. Thank you.
It took me a little time but I figured it by trial and error. I would be happy to help you if you can tell me which part is giving you trouble (or a picture) I will do my best to explain it
