Update nov 2025:
The spacers were a bit too short, which may have caused the lamellas to be slightly too squashed. I apologize for that. The new spacers should work better. Ideally, secure them with self-locking nuts and perhaps don't overtighten them. If the lamellas still aren't moving completely smoothly, try using some silicone spray.

In one of the pictures you can see the size comparison
I scaled and changed the design to fit a 28BYJ-48 Stepper.
The size was determined by the prusa mini printbed dimensionen.
you have to print 11 lamellas/leaves and pins
you may have to turn and rotate the parts so that they can be printed on your printer
a few of the spacers (I used nuts instead)
some M3 and M4 screws to put it all together.
I used silicone spray to improve the mechanics
the opening of the iris is between ~ 15-117mm.
It can not close completely

OPTIONAL: depending on your way to control the stepper you may need some kind of emergency stop. I cut a few teeth so that the motor cannot go beyond this point
Happy printing!
