Description
Print in place iris box. Open by turning the base ring and six leaves open and a tray lifts out. Includes a ring holder version and a version with a fun face and a version with a post to lift with.
recommend printing scaled down to 70%. The ring holder fits my Canadian Engineer's Iron Ring when printed at 70%. YMMV.
The races can be lubricated with silicone food grade lubricant (plumber lubricant) for smoother motion.
Removing the supports from all the nooks and crannies is time consuming, but the mechanism should function once freed.
Included a picture of one that I printed out one at 166% scaling factor for fun. (That's the largest that would fit on my print bed).
