3D 模型描述
This is a container with a unique opening mechanism.
Twist the bottom of the container to activate the five sliding petals.
Very Fidgety.
If you want to take inspiration from the mechanism, reverse engineer it, remix it and/or integrate it's principle of operation in your own design, feel free to do so. I'd love to see your take on this thing.
Only do so if you can cad the mechanism from scratch.
