Cilium Cipher Decoder Wheel

Description

**NOTE: If you downloaded this when it was initially uploaded, there was a mistake in the Codes model where there was a piece with duplicate symbols. This has since been corrected. ** This is the culmination of a few years of ideas, learning CAD, loving puzzles and being an all around nerd. I love the idea of a decoder wheel but I was always a bit dissatisfied with standard code wheels as being unchangeable in their coding, meaning they are relatively simple to decode once you've figured out the substitution. If you and your friend are trading coded messages, all a 3rd party needs is to temporarily gain access to one of your wheels and write down the substitution. My design allows the alteration of the key such that there are about 51 trillion combinations (13!x2^13) so you and your friend can come up with a way to alter your keys consistently to encode your messages further. Each symbol pair can be moved around *and* flipped. The entire alphabet can also be offset by changing the position of the letter wheel. The cipher from which the glyphs originate (document attached) also allows the symbols to be drawn in a few different ways, allowing even more variation in how messages are encoded if you so choose. I printed the parts on a Bambu Lab P1S 3D Printer with no supports. **The version I printed had a 0.5mm tolerance between all the parts but it was a little loose, so I've since adjusted to be 0.25mm but I have not actually done a new print with this tolerance yet** *If you like this design and end up using it, PLEASE consider leaving a tip as it took a lot of work <3 * This page may be updated as needed in future.
