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”

The video has a part that is not in the files. It has a similar part, but here are no posts. Are we supposed to print the posts and insert? Did I miss something?

Cool design. Great Print. It took some work to get it together but it was worth it. Well done.
