Mechanical Aperture

prusaprinters

<p>I completely redid thingverse user sketchpunk's mechanical iris with an eye to being easier to print and assemble as well as ultimately be used as an actual large camera iris. I didn't use any of his files but did use approximately the same dimensions.</p><p>It now closes up a little more. It's not as steampunk looking but the aperture blades do some very interesting patterns. You can paint different halves of the smooth side for duotone geometry.</p><p>Works with well with countersunk M4 screws or countersunk 8-32 hardware.</p><p>If you want to remix it and resize it be careful on scaling the Z dimension. Stuff is worked out pretty tight and simple rounding errors on resize could make things difficult.</p>
