12 Leaf Aperture Box
Description
A 12 leaf version of my aperture box design, producing a sliding 12 sided aperture much like a camera iris. It is opened by twisting the handles on the doors in a clockwise direction. I also have many more Iris box designs which you can find on my [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/brienallison/designs) and [MyMiniFactory](https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Brien%20Allison) profile pages including an improved version of this design ['12 Leaf Aperture Iris Box'](https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-12-leaf-aperture-iris-box-87618). I have also produced a general [Instructable guide](https://www.instructables.com/Decorative-Iris-Box-Guide/) on how to print my iris boxes to a high quality. The part files are designed for M2x6 countersunk/flathead screws [such as these](https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Stainless-Countersunk-Phillips-Machine/dp/B01L7PCX0G/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=m2x6mm+flat+head+screws&qid=1550096111&s=gateway&sr=8-10) (as with all my other designs); 24 screws are required in total for the box. The parts can be scaled to use larger or smaller screws e.g. M3x8 screws at 150% scale. The box is approximately 80mm wide, 80mm tall (using the standard container) and has a 64mm container opening. Two versions of the container are included: the standard container which makes the box 80mm tall and a shortened container which makes it about 40mm tall (used for the printed example).
