Roxy Iris Box:
The Iris Boxes provide a good example of what 3D Printing is capable of doing. Because of the way Iris Boxes open people find them fascinating. The Roxy Iris Box is a reverse engineered version of a previous Iris Box that appeared on WWW.ThingiVerse.Com. Specifically: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:140048 It is a very nice design but because it only had .STL files for the box it isnÂt easy to modify it.
I wanted to make a number of changes to it. I wanted:
a thicker (and stronger) box.
The ability to put lettering on the leaves
to change the speed at which the leaves open (so they open easier)
change and simplify the way the door mechanism mounts to the box
I borrowed very heavily from the previously mentioned design, but the source code is entirely rewritten and available as part of this ThingÂ. Whether you want to change the letters on the leaves or the number of leaves or the height of the box, it should all be easy to accomplish (because the source code is provided).
