Description

PDF

Original chain fabric inspired by Flowalstik's Chainmail on Thingiverse, created in OpenSCAD. The sheets can be connected to form even larger sheets; I've connected sheets up to a size of about 6x7 sheets, around 5x5 feet.

  • ## Advantages

  • Very light weight (~2 kg. for ~5x5ft sheet)

  • Fast print time (7.5h for 10x12in sheet on my MK3)

  • Designed for rapid printing; default settings optimized for mass production

  • Easy to connect sheets (connector pieces built-in)

  • Compact when printed

  • Customizable (to any size)

Disadvantages

  • Link can turn in place

  • Corners can flip

Other Details

  • High visibility through sheet

Print instructions

I recommend printing the 5x5 sheet first to confirm that it prints without issue. I also recommend PETG as the links are very small and are thus fragile in PLA; however, I have assembled massive sheets in PLA without issue.
