@VoltPaperScissors@chaos.social I improved a bit the Pringles Enigma:
1. Roll a piece of A4 card stock (about 180g/m2) inside the Pringles can and tape its inside to form a cylinder;
2. Get it out and tape the outside;
3. Tape the paper rings (input, rotors, reflector) onto the Pringles can and cut the can in between to obtain four rings (you’ll need another can for the other reflector and rotors;
4. Assemble the rings on the cylinder, and tape the cylinder inside the input ring; >>

@VoltPaperScissors@chaos.social 5. Align all rings and the reflector, and hold the reflector to the cylinder with clips. 6. Optionally remove the clip handles for better readability. It might even be better to not tape the cylinder and clip it on both sides, it makes assembly even easier: stack the rings, roll the paper, put it in, and clip it. But A4 is a tad too short to reach both ends.
