mechanical container - print in place expanding iris

print in place mechanical container.

video of operation: 

I printed this at 20QUALITY in prusa slicer and it worked fine. It was really stiff for the first couple times but loosened up pretty quickly. 

You may need to work it back and forth the first time to get the leaf mechanisms to all break loose.
