I wanted a way to include a 'lock' combination on a preform (PET) tube. Your geocache can have a puzzle, with the combination to open the tube, is the solution to a puzzle, or nearby gadget cache.

I would love to see pictures of your prints, and hear how you will use it as a geocache if you have specific plans!

1/12/21 - added inner shaft and lid for 5 digit version

See original design for assembly instructions. You can make it with 3 rings or 5 rings.
