Ooh, fun! I'm getting my S1 next week. I've made paper versions but this is definitely going to be a project for me!

I think the S1 will be great for you, I'm going to try more materials and understand the range of things we can make with this machine. Thanks. JR

I wonder if the number of leaves in the iris determines the size difference between the outer ring and the inner ring. This could be used in a mechanical Rube Goldberg kind of marble contraption.

There are lots of variations of the iris online, I hope to make more moving laser cut “things” when I get time. Check out www.woodthatworks.com/

Hi, a really great video, and project of course. I am wondering if it is your laser cutting or video editing that improves most 😀? I just subscribed for more!

[@JSR_Design]

Thank you, I have lots of ideas to try, hopefully both will keep improving.
