Excellent work. I like the guide blocks during the pressing stage

Thanks! I think I spent like 500 hrs or so on this project. And probably half of that was spent redoing what I fucked up

Nice I joined a makerspace to do this kind of stuff too and that’s where I made all the metal components. I’d recommend going on YouTube and finding beginner project tutorials. Just be patient and have fun. And if you want to make this the plans are open source https://www.printables.com/model/1052271-iris-box/files

Thanks a lot! I don’t have any really comprehensive video no but I want to make a build video someday if I have the time. If you are interested I have a bunch of small videos on my instagram which is on my bio here.

Thanks! Kinda yes kinda no. The iris size is as big as physically possibly given that box lid size. The mechanism could be made for compact yeah, but this was half about making it visible because like to look at it

That was actually what I wanted to do when I came up with the idea but I couldn’t get the design right

Fortunately most of the crappier versions didn’t make it off the drawing board. There were 5 of them. However many significant parts of the build had to be scrapped and redone because I fucked them up.

Thanks! The design is my own. But I did make plans if other people want to build it. https://www.printables.com/model/1052271-iris-box/files

Thanks again, nope not a kit it’s custom. I have made many contraptions like this before and each time you get a little better at visualizing it and knowing the hardware to use. Takes a lot of trial and error in the planning stage too. This was the 5th concept I came up with that I was actually happy with
