This miniature bike chain is both tough, and tough-to-build. 8mm pitch.
Useful for high-end toys, or unique, durable costume jewelry, such as watch bands, necklaces, rings, bracelets, fidget toys, and more.
Incorporating filament scraps makes this design very-strong (no layer lines).
- Scale spacers to desired height. This will be the width of the chain.
- Print the links with 0.2mm layer height or lower.
- Print flat on print bed with no supports & no fan for highest-strength.
- Stitch together with chunks of used filament (see pictures).
- Insert spacers in center.
- Use lighter, 3D pen, or heat tool to soften ends of filament.
- Press hot filament with finger or thumb to rivet links together.
- Don't burn yourself.
