While most popular iris designs rely on thin and smooth blades that slide over each other, this design (not my invention) uses thicker blades -- it is more sturdy and printer-friendly.
The design is fully parametric, corresponding OpenScad file attached. It is impractical to use more than 6 blades with this specific implementation. For more blades, consider this version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6584051
