I know nothing of CAD, but if your format is one supported by emachineshop.com, you might be able to sell or license it.
That's fab. Soooo when are you going into production!
Pins are rivetted to the blades, by fitting the pins with the ends a bit proud of the blade there's enough metal to peen over the pin. Takes practice, unless you have experience and confidence an adhesive might be in order.Originally Posted by Jody_S

I've tried riveting a few (pointed punch, anvil, hammer), and I stopped because I spent too much time on my hands and knees in my shop looking for a pin that went flying across the room. I've never found an adhesive that would work either. Perhaps I should re-try with a plate on top of the anvil with a shallow hole drilled the diameter of the pin.
Amazing! I have a B&L 11X14C f/4.5 Tessar, which I believe is about 395mm. Is that your lens, or a different make?
A pointed punch is simply the wrong tool. Concave punch head is what you need.
I thought the pins had an indent in the bottom that was meant to be punched to flare out the sides against the blade?
I always thought iris mechanisms were one of the coolest parts of photography.
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

maybe it is, but at mine there is TESSAR 40cm/4,5 print.
Yes, they are rivetted
I thought about adhesive, but I left this idea very quickly, as there is too small aera for it on the pin. Besides, when I was younger I tried to repair the blade's pin by adhesive, and I know it will not work longer than few turns.
If there are customers, I will really soon
Anyone intereseted?
