Gear Lid - 12 Leaf Aperture Iris Box

myminifactory

Included are two designs to give a steampunk/mechanical themed lid to the 12 Leaf Aperture Iris Box, if it wasn't steampunky enough already! You will need to have the base design already, and simply add these decorative doors in place of the original ones. 'Mech 1' and 'Mech 2' create a gear design with many concentric rings (mounted on to the yellow container) much like the 'hypnotic' design included with the main iris box files. This creates a spiral effect when opening the box. 'Mech 3' and 'Mech 4' creates the cleaner basic gear design as mounted on to the black container. You can also mix and match the two files in each design to give more or less spokes for the gear. Included are files for single and multi-material (denoted with 'mm' in the file name) prints. A multi-material printer is not actually required for multi-material parts as the multi-pass printing technique can be used to make these on a single nozzle printer, as was done in the printed examples. An excellent tutorial on how to do this was made by Devin Montes.
