Description

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2990440.

This is a remixed version of the awesome print in place iris box made by LoboCNC. After seeing the amazing looking westworld control unit housing done by ThaRev (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2984003), I decided it just wouldn't be complete without a functioning Iris box for the top. Thanks to the solidworks file provided by LoboCNC I was able to aesthetically alter his iris box to look like the control unit and to have it be perfectly usable with the rest of ThaRev's original files. Simply download ThaRev's files and print this instead of his supplied "Westworld Control Unit Upper".

NOTE You may need to slightly scale down the diameter and length of the pins he supplies

I also bumped up some clearances to allow a wider range of printers to be able to handle the print successfully, see print settings for detailed instructions.

Great model. I love compliant mechanisms, and the iris shutter is pretty high on the list.

I may have scaled this up somewhat, I cannot remember. Either way, this should work fine as long as it isn't scaled down.

Friendly reminder to those printing this that they'll need to pull off the tabs on the bottom of the print where the fins meet the base. They are required during printing to keep the fins stable, but they need to be separated from the fins before the mechanism will work.
