Iris Gift Box
prusaprinters
<p>This box features an iris mechanism with very little resistance as to turn the lid easily with two fingers. It‘s achieved by a sort of ball bearing using 6mm steel balls and a pattern of leaves that don’t overlap.<br/> What makes it a gift box? Well, you can store little gifts inside or use it as a gift :-).<br/> I uploaded a short video here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOQdQyLQQjw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOQdQyLQQjw</a><br/> The lid has to be mounted following a specific path to prevent the lid from detaching when grabbing it.<br/> Outer diameter: about 13 cm, height: < 5 cm.</p> <p>Credits:<br/> This design is basically the following one by Acop Minasean turned printable and with a box wrapped around it: <a href="https://grabcad.com/library/mechanism-of-shutter-1">https://grabcad.com/library/mechanism-of-shutter-1</a></p> <p>You have to get yourself 12 6mm steel balls. They are quite cheap as it is a common ammunition for slingshots.

I adjusted single layers to match the print and the modell and went down to 0.15 for the moving heights. Don’t know if that is really necessary though.<br/> The balance point of the leaves should be on the outer side. To achieve this, you have to print them with 100% except for the layers between 0.5 and 1.4 mm, print these with 5% infill.</p>
