AURA // Kinetic Iris Desk Vault & Modular Bit Station

A precision-engineered mechanical desk container and precision bit carousel featuring a 6-blade synchronized kinetic iris aperture — engineered for 100% support-free FDM 3D printing.

A clean, architectural fusion of mechanical utility and Scandinavian minimalism. A single 45° twist of the knurled outer collar drives six interlocking blades open in fluid kinetic motion to reveal your tools, media cards, or EDC essentials.

⚙️ Engineering Specifications

• Footprint: 96.0 mm (Diameter) × 58.0 mm (Assembled Height)
• Aperture Range: 0.0 mm (Dust-sealed closed) → 42.0 mm (Fully open clear bore)
• Kinematics: Continuous 0.35 mm radial clearance offsets to prevent layer bonding during FDM printing
• 100% Support-Free: Constrained overhangs ($\le 45^\circ$) with built-in anti-elephant’s foot bottom chamfers
• Ballast Ready: Concealed base cavity designed to accept dense shot/sand for a low center of gravity
