Description

This is a container with a twist-top mechanical iris opening mechanism. The project requires (10) 5mmx16mm metal dowels, which can be purchased on Amazon. Glue is required - I recommend JB weld. See my Youtube page for an assembly video.

NOTE: Video shows process after metal dowels have been glued into pieces “FRAME-TOP” and “INNER RING”

Where do I get the metal pins? What size? I printed this container and can't put it together.

might just be my luck but 5x16mm was too big for the holes and the arms didn’t fit the moving lid.
