I just built this box and it was very well designed and it came out really sweet. Thank you for both, the file and well done video.
You're very welcome!
Thanks for making the files free and doing these videos.

I love the iris box, will cut it tomorrow. Thanks for the video and the files!
Hi, thank you for your comments, hope you enjoy the model.
Built this box as one of my first multi part laser projects and it turned out great. Lots of compliments on it from everyone that's seen it. Thanks.
Thank you for your comments. If you haven't already, please subscribe. We are working on more items.
Very well designed project - fun to build. Thanks for a great project!!!
Our pleasure! Glad you like it.
great work, as always! I made the iris box for my hubby. i stained it, and it's just beautiful!

Wow, I don't even have a cnc laser but this is getting me excited to get one!
The iris mechanism could work well for an old box shaped camera gift box...
Great project and the super video makes assembly a doddle. Thanks
Thank you for your comments. If you haven't already, please subscribe, like and share, to help us get the files to more laser users.
Just found you guys... FANTASTIC EFFORT! So nice of you to provide these files and videos... I'm getting started TODAY! :)
Thank you. Hope you enjoy building them.
Very nice, greetings from Vienna
Beautiful
Thank you
Enorm bedankt voor het mooie ontwerp en de degelijke montage instructies. Zonder deze uitleg was het me niet gelukt om deze Iris Box te monteren.
Muito bom, trabalho espetacular
nice man! thanks for the file
Glad you like them, please consider subscribing so we can continue to add more.
@@freelaserfiles already sub
@@freelaserfiles already done it sir! hopefully i can make one like yours too someday
nice video mate
keep them coming
drop some layered art too so that you have more attention on youtube too
again great build
kudos
Thanks, we will look into the layered art!
This project will cause one to investigate KERF OFFSET. One should understand this before slicing up a bunch of material. There are kinds of "advanced" techniques in this baby! this project will not defeat me! it is way too kewl! thanks for the file!

really great, this is my next project. what type of glue and wax did you use?
Hi Jon, thank you for contacting us and for watching our video. The glue used was titebond III, but any suitable glue would work. We used a thin wax, not sure about the brand, again any suitable lubricant would work. This was cut from MDF which leave a very nice edge with no rough charring. Our test units were put together with no lubricant and worked fine, but obviously some people will use different material and lasers, so we recommend lubricating the parts. We hope this is helpful and that you enjoy building the box.

Thank you for this video. Very cool project. Can you provide what kind of glue bottle/applicator that you used?
Hi, I buy the bottles from e bay or amazon. One or two ounce plastic bottles with luer lock tops. Sometimes I order them with the blunt needle or I order the needle separately. The needle I like are 18 gauge. Try to order them with some kind of stopper to help prevent the glue drying in the needle. Also I would recommend having another larger bottle with water in, to flush the needle if it start to block. The bottles and needles are cheap and make building models much easier.
If you have trouble finding them, get back to us and we will try to help.
Making both the files and the realization of the project available to the public is a great idea. -- Just one question: what type of glue do you use in the video? Visually it looks like vinyl, but I think it is stronger, can you reveal the brand and type? Thanks in any case
Hi, thank you for you comments. No problem revealing our secret glue, in fact we name it at the beginning of each video. We use titebond 3 wood glue, and yes it is very strong. Hope you enjoy your build.
Will this be possible without the wax? I do not have more than wood, wood glue, and a cutter.
Hi, yes it is possible, but it may not work as smoothly.
Be cool if you can scale it up to a bigger size.
The instructions mentions black lines, red lines, and blue lines but the dxf and svg files only have black lines. I’m new to laser cutting, am I missing something with the files? I’m using Luban with a Snapmaker Artisan 3n1. Thanks.
Hi, sorry but we have no idea what a Luban with a Snapmaker Artisan 3n1. is. There are much more knowledgeable channels out there who could possibly help you, or maybe your software supplier could advice you We draw the files with three colors to define cutting line, score lines and etching areas. I can tell you that in all the files the cutting lines are black and the part numbers are shown in red. If you are seeing the part numbers in black, or not at all, it is a software issue.
Hope this helps.
Hola 👋, de que grosor es el material que usaste?
Hi, it was made of 3mm mdf.
What wax do you use?
Thank you for contacting us. The wax shown on the video was just a thin paste wax, I can’t remember the brand. Any paste wax will work or even candle wax. When we were designing and testing the parts, we used mdf and assembled them without using wax. They worked fine with no lubrication. We recommend using wax because we don’t know what material people will use to build the model or the amount of char their lasers will produce. We hope this helps.

Please what type of glue do you use?
Hi, we use titebond 3 wood glue but you could use ant suitable glue.
Will it work on acrylic sheet?
Hi, thank you for the question. We have not made this model out of acrylic, but there is no reason why it should not work. The only problem I can think of, is, if you join the opening mechanism using liquid acrylic welding liquid, the capillary action could possibly weld the moving parts. If you do make on from acrylic it would look very nice. Please send us a photo of the finished model.
@@freelaserfiles I'm working on it, will send you the photo/video if succeeded and thank you for everything 🙏 you are the best ❤️
¿Que pegamento está usando?
Hi, we use wood glue.
@@freelaserfiles muy agradecido!
Subscribed. I think it would be useful if you put the link to your website and your email address in your channel info.
Thank you, your right I thought it was. We will add it in. Thanks again
