    Great idea since it could mean people could actually touch it and try it out. I actually wish there was an Enigma in every school.. Kids would learn a lot from playing with it, since it touches many…

    I would build a working German Enigma machine.  It’s something I’ve already been thinking about and have created a Fusion360 model in-order to 3D-print the non-electrical elements and worked out how switches would work.  It does require springs and metal strengthening parts which have to be acquired.  With an unlimited budget I could actually prototype to my heart’s content to get it actually working; alternatively, with money no object I could get the parts machined instead and re-create a more accurate replica.

    Not much fun in that!  Besides I already have access to a fully rebuilt one, as well as a dummy manual one I 3D printed and made up with wire.

    Image of a 3d printed enigma with 3 rotors.  Looks like a Pringles tube with rotatable parts and wiring showing the encryption path.
