Iteration 1: Paper prototype with first two flaps attached.
Iteration 1: paper prototype with all four flaps in "closed" position.
Iteration 1: paper prototype with all four flaps in "open" position.
Iteration 1: paper prototype with all four flaps in "open" position.
Iteration 2: first 3D print. Tolerancing was too tight and prohibited movement along the lateral axis. Flaps were not produced in anticipation of a redesign.
Iteration 3: 3D print with flaps. Gearing system was upsized but proved to be too fragile for movement.
Iteration 4: 3D print with flaps in "closed" position. Flaps allowed for some motion when slide action was applied.
Iteration 4: 3D print with flaps in "open" position. Flaps allowed for some motion when slide action was applied.
Iteration 4 in "closed" position attached onto an actual camera lens.
Iteration 4 in "open" position when attached onto an actual camera lens.
