Rotate the control to open and close the overlapping blades, then combine multiple containers vertically. This design is part of the StatusSymbol collection of printable mechanisms: objects conceived around what additive manufacturing can make possible, with motion and assembly integrated into the object itself. --- ## PRINT FEATURES - Mechanical iris closure - compact body - stackable architecture - fully printable container ## PRINT AND ASSEMBLY Smooth contact surfaces make the blades move more freely. Test the iris empty before stacking or storing objects. Before final assembly, remove stringing and printing artifacts from every moving interface. Test the mechanism gradually and never force a part that has fused or is misaligned. --- ## DISCOVER MORE STATUSSYMBOL DESIGNS [▶ MECHANICAL CREEPY EYE-BALL RING](https://thangs.com/designer/StatusSymbol/3d-model/Mechanical%20Creepy%20Eye-Ball%20Ring-1158127) [▶ IRIS BOX - BUBBLE SKIN - STACKABLE](https://thangs.com/designer/StatusSymbol/3d-model/Iris%20box%20-%20Bubble%20skin%20-%20Stackable-1102391) [▶ IRIS BOX - CUBIC SKIN (STACKABLE)](https://thangs.com/designer/StatusSymbol/3d-model/Iris%20Box%20-%20Cubic%20skin%20(Stackable)-1092745) [▶ EXPLORE THE COMPLETE STATUSSYMBOL CATALOG](https://thangs.com/designer/StatusSymbol) --- ## WHO IS BEHIND STATUSSYMBOL? StatusSymbol develops mechanical objects designed around the possibilities of additive manufacturing—not simply objects reproduced with it. The project combines mechanical experimentation, product design and practical knowledge of additive-manufacturing processes. # [▶ DISCOVER WHO WE ARE](https://www.castalialab.com/statussymbol) StatusSymbol is a project developed within [CastaliaLab](https://www.castalialab.com/), an Italian additive-manufacturing and product-development laboratory. --- ## COMMERCIAL LICENSE Would you like to sell physical prints of this design or other StatusSymbol models? # [▶ GET THE COMMERCIAL LICENSE](https://thangs.com/designer/StatusSymbol/memberships) An active StatusSymbol commercial membership authorizes the sale of physical prints from the designs included in the selected plan, according to its current terms.
