Any body actively building a fully working acurate replica of an enigma machine.

Depends on what level you are interested in. - The cheapest ones are of course software simulators that come in different levels of look and feel.
- Then you have physical replicas starting with a arduino and a lcd screen (www.tindie.com/products/ArduinoEnigma/arduino-enigma-i-m3-m4-machine-simulator-w-case/)
- Moving on to bigger ones like meinenigma.com/ that has the same physical size and similar appearance to the original.
- There are some people who make 3d printed versions in various degree of accuracy
- Next level is a true replica which is exactly like the original and even some of the components to it comes from the original factories.
- And lastly you have originals, currently one is for sale on ebay for "only" $250'000 USD

This is realy sucking me in. I'm now actively researching using silican moulds, and eploxy casting many of the smaller parts and anything that requires electrical insulation, and my past experience with alloy castiing is leading me to cast the base and rocker in alloy. (when I can find the time), This is for my own amusement and basicly proving to myself if it can be done.

Hi there I recently came across the site enigma.hs-weingarten.de/ and spotted the PDF files. It also mentions CAD drawings being available on registration but not quite sure if they mean these are actual dfx type files or just the ones in the PDFs. Not spotted the registration section. I’m looking to 3D print so figured check if anyone had the cad drawings before I make my own up by using the pdfs Thanks

mark the registration section redirects to a download page with pdf, have not seen any native cad files. Do keep us up to date. I am very interested in seeing a 3D printed enigma machine...

As mentioned, this is drawing me in like a fly to a honey pot. The first thing I did was to make a 4 times actual size indexing gear for making the rotor assemblies and basicly anything that has 26 divisions. By making it oversize I reduce errors rather than magnify them when I reduce them down to actual size. I have managed to find some good drawings on line, but as always, they seem to leave out the critital bits. What I got so far is more than enough to get started. Marks find is a real gem. Thank for you interest.
