Description

The BinaryBin is a fully 3D-printable, snap-together locking container powered by a programmable 16-bit binary code. It’s part puzzle, part teaching tool, and 100% nerdy—in the best possible way. What Makes It Special:

Mechanical DIP-style binary switches (16 total) grouped into 4 nibbles for easy binary → hex conversion
Orbital gear-driven lock system that only disengages when the correct code is entered
Programmable mechanism lets you set your own combination
Non-binary switch state lets you “erase” the visible code after unlocking
Hexadecimal encoding legend built into the layout (great for teaching or learning)
Concealed mechanical latches, controlled entirely by the geartrain
Fully printable — no electronics, no glue, no screws

Educational & Fun Learn (or teach) how binary and hexadecimal systems work—by actually using them. It’s a brainy hands-on demo disguised as a seriously cool lockbox.

Ideal For:

Puzzle lovers & escape room designers
STEM educators & students
Nerdy gift-givers
Makers and collectors of mechanical marvels

Printing Tips:

No supports required – all necessary supports are built in
Includes an optional tool for disassembly
PLA recommended with standard 0.4mm nozzle
Full print & slicer settings included in the images

Code it. Turn it. Unlock it. The BinaryBin isn’t just a container—it’s a hands-on lesson in binary logic, gears, and clever design. Post your prints, remix your codes, and share your builds!

Revisions and Updates I occasionally update and revise my designs. When I do, I’ll document the changes here. Check back periodically for the latest revision notes or if you’re experiencing any issues with a model.

Hey man great thing to make and I'm sure I'll have all kinds of fun trying to get this printed and working right. Would have been nice had you made a PDF to come alone with the zip file of the steps and settings so we did not have keep coming back to this page over and over again, so I did you a +1 and did the work of making a PDF of the build based off the pics in your posting. Could you reach out to me to let me know how I can get to you so you can put it up and link it in your posting?

As always, it's just a "head off", I'm horrified by your engineering knowledge. _) It's super cool!!! I'm still very impressed with the Phone Multi Widget.

Haha, thanks. I appreciate the encouragement. :-)
