Description

Write secret messages to your friends and decode them with this ring. The Caesar Cipher is one of the simplest codes. Simply shift the alphabet by some amount and use that alphabet to write your message, or in this case twist the rings so that the letter line up in the right order.

Made this deritive with flat sides because... why did I think it had to be rounded in the first place?

I am now offering a slightly different version of this same idea on Shapeways if you want a higher resolution version or don't have a 3D printer: shapeways.com/shops/cymon

Instructions

This is actually 2 nested rings that print together and turn independently. It's big enough to fit on a finger tho it may be too big for regular wear.

Both ends of the message will need a ring. The first letter of the message should be the what A in the top ring alligns to in the bottom ring. When encoding use the bottom letters for the top when decoding use the top letters for the bottom and decode away!

Neat! :-)

Sadly, my decoder earring did not print well (darn small letters...)

Perhaps I should print it at shapeways as well.

I have observed that with extrusion based printers letters like this print better in a vertical orientation. If you can rework your earrings to print vertically like I did on this ring you might be able to fix it.

Shapeways would probably work too, but it is a bit pricy. Then again it's cheeper than a $2k makerbot.
