How to make a 12 leaves Mechanical Irirs

Step 2: Cutting the leaves

Now let's make some leaves!

Ok, first print the leaf template, and glue it to the copper sheet.
Now cut the leaves!

Regular scissor will do the job (Remember, this copper sheet is 0,1 mm thick)

Once you get them all cut, remove the paper, and we are ready for the next step!

Could you give me the link for the template of the leaves?

Hi, the template is right here, in the "Intro" right before the step 1.

if you have them, a small set of tin snips are great here, just be careful to use the proper pair (i.e. don't use left cutting snips to cut right, you'll end up with nasty edges and useless copper)

Remember to sharpen your scissors afterward.
