Iris Business Card
Intro: Iris Business Card
This is an iris mechanism built into a business card sized card.
The design files can be downloaded here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8787
Another version with 4 leafs: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8944
The paper needs to be fairly thick because it needs some stiffness to operate. I use a 14 point (0.014") paper
It can be cut by hand, but it would of course be much easier on a laser or paper cutting machine.

have you thought of putting a logo behind the iris?

If you want to add text on it I would suggest working with the .svg file with the free vector program "Inkscape".

closing works pretty good but opening is a little bit difficult,
but that's probably because i've cut it out by hand and som edges are a little bit rough
but I like the instructable :D

I do have one more card design coming that is my simplest so far and quite fun, but it may be a couple months before it is ready.
