About this model

This is an Aperture Iris Box which features an easy opening twist collar and a decorative lid. The box is 80mm tall, 80mm in diameter and is opened by twisting the collar anticlockwise.

Other than the printed parts, this requires M2x6 countersunk/flathead screws to assemble (as with all my other designs) such as these; 24 screws are required in total. Larger or smaller screws may be used if you scale the model appropriately e.g. M3x8 screws at 150% part scale. There are two types of door. The simple 'door' is completely flat and the decorative door 'door-dec' creates a compass…
