INNOVATIVE KNEX SAFE
CONTEST EDIT!! first person to figure out the mech and build it gets kudos from me!! :D
Whats this, a SAFE? I've seen hundreds of these, you can just pull the door open or easily pick the lock. Wait, thers no TUMBLERS! How can that be? That must be new!
WELL IT IS BRAND SPANKIN NEW AND HAS NEVER EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!!!!!!!! A secure knex safe that opens with a KEY! and its a very specific key. ONLY 1 KEY WORKS ALL THE OTHERS WILL NOT TURN! Tis is truely my most innovative creation EVER! If you do not like this, your a hater! I am going to be inactive so criticize me if you want it wont do anything. BEST THINGY EVER TRY TO BUILD FROM THE PICS IF YOU CAN! AHAHAHAHHAAHA
I will put up a video soon.
Sorry it's gone so no instructions :(
If anyone wants to build this please check out zbrown2016's instructable. It is very simmilar and I believe he did a great job on trying to replicate my prototype from the few pictures I've posted.

Farily hard. It is a solid safe and will be much harder killing it with a hammer than taking it apart

how on earth did you do the mechinism from the photos???
Reply 10 years ago
I didnt exactly make the mechinisim. I tried but phailed. So i just got a half moon and made a rod down to size. Like i got an orange connector and blue rod on one side and white on the other. I edited the door a little, but im sure u can figure that out, its not hard. So yeah, just make the latches as normal, (the holes the key go into) and um just make it like i just said there. Um also, instead of a tan clip at the end of the key, make it another dark grey connector. And uh yeah make it like i just said. P.S, i put tape around the orange connector, white rod and blue rod so it doesnt break if someone tries too hard to open it ;) hope this helps.

this is instructions for the safe
Reply 10 years ago
I know they dont and i did that for a reason. Lets face it, this is truely a brand new idea. There has never been anything like it before and I came up with it. The problem with that is prototypes are never that great. I gave everyone a basic idea and pictures so that maybe other people can attempt to make this safe and make one better than mine...as long as they remember to give me credit for the idea :)

who me?....if so, my friend should see this...they think im totally crap at everything but scub diving.......even though im quite good at alot of thing

ino how it is done......the end (with tan clip)goes in some kind of connector, turning the bolt. BUT!(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) the grey bits stop it when there are pegs in the way, and having the pegs in the right places lets it slide past.....and an override would be a blank key, with just the tan bit on the end......SO HA This whole thing took me 10 mins to work out AND post.....but i would make the safe differently.......i would make it the size of a large gear, make it one with a sprocket on, and havi it so that when the key turns the gear, a bar-connected via a hinge(blue bar with spacers and a grey single clip peice) so that the rotation of the gear pulled a bar bck..then i would use more bars and the orange 2 clip connectors to make the lock the whole way down......ill post pics of this recreate once i make it
Reply 10 years ago
yes you are right and im suprised that it took 7 months and you were the only one to figure it out. I know this safe has disadvantages but its innovation and no one has ever done it before. I could make it where only a key with the grey slots in the right places would open the safe but im done with knex. Congrats though, for figuring it out.

Im finished and yet I haven't started. I have built it but all the pictures I took were deleted and I'm all done with knex. Im really sorry but I'm sure if you took the time and paid close attention to these pictures you may be able to build something like it.
