thingiverse

Hello all, This is a modified design of the previous Iris Dome Box. You can see the previous one here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/6-leaf-iris-dome-box-4e3ca5bcfabf4962b810f5a693b1b0e2 and here:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6133298 Some folks test-printed the previous design and gave me feedback so, I had the design modified according to the feedback I received and came up with the version you can find in this post. Hope this design does not require further modifications. Notice_1: 3D print all the files provided here and then assemble the parts so, you get the 6-leaf Iris Dome Box. Notice_2: you will need to 3D print “leaf_07292023.stl” six times. (you are going to need 6 leaves if you want this thing to work) Notice_3: assembling the leaves is the most challenging part of the assembly process so, don’t give up on it soon. Notice_4: you may need to sand some parts. prepare your sandpapers. Advice: 3D print “Bolt_07292023” with thick walls! If you want to see how it should work please check the below link: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb4vUNJr_AY/?img_index=2 History: this is a 6-leaf Iris dome box and I believe it could be the 3rd or 4th original design of a similar type Iris dome box category. You might know Emmette Lalish who I believe has made the first Iris Dome Box of 5 leaves (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1811143) Then Jeff Kerr remixed Emmett's design and made his own unique Iris Dome Box of 4 leaves. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1817180) finally, there is Brien Allison who has made a 7-leaf Iris Dome Box.
