This is sick, great fabricating and video editing skills. Orion just completes the whole thing. I can't even imagine how much time you spent on making this.
I am following you for one year now. Actually I plan my own iris. But seeing this professional work I can only say big respect and consider stopping all my lousy attempts.
You reminded me when I was a youngster I built a small iris using thin cardboard and string with some glue. Figured out how to build that from a couple of drawings of the mechanism.
Awesome job, now you just need a projector to recreate the practical puddle they started using around season 7. One thing that always bugged me about the show's iris was how it magically disappeared when it was retracted.
I'd love an internal door that opens and closes like that. Imagine opening a door like that into your front room and walking in. If the iris was inverted on the other side so there were two irises that open with the same rotors, the overlapping parts would be hidden in between them, so both sides would appear the same without the overlaps you see here at 7:11 Of course, it would mean recessing the lower part of the frame into the floor so there's no step.
@@FlashDrive356 problem is you can't cut the blades off, the wider the aperture is opened, the more of the actual length of them is needed to keep the round look. if you cut them, you'd get steps.
