I think there are a few digital simulators online~~; not many people have the space for a hard copy!~~

[Edited - plenty of room for an Enigma, I was thinking of a Bombe]

I'm happy with my Eniac and PDP-10 emulators.

Did you develop them yourself? Are they available online?

An emulator takes one set of skills but to built a working physical model seems much more costly and challenging. Often you have to completely reverse engineer the device because you don’t even have the blueprints.

Copies of the enigma machine have been manufactured.
Some spare parts are available on eBay.
Here is a reference to a copy supplier and pictures;
