mechanical iris V3 | print in place | fidget

It's me again!

After some further feedback about my original mechanical iris and its version 2, I have now added two handles, which make it much easier and more convenient to operate the mechanism.

The wider tolerances stayed the same as in Version 2 of this mechanical iris, although I have put 0.2mm bevels on the bottom of the pivots, to prevent parts from fusing together. 

I have also removed some material from the blades to reduce the print time. AND: It also looks much cooler!

Now the print only takes ~45mins to finish.

Now it makes even more fun to play with!

I hope you enjoy printing and using this model.

It would be great if you could leave some feedback or your thoughts about this - Thank you!
