3D Printed Chainmail

In issue 10 we featured beautifully designed chainmail by Tim Heilmann, which you can download from Thingiverse ready to 3D print. The chains are all linked together as it's printed, so it comes off the printer in one piece.

Tim has also designed connectors to link sections, so you can make a massive blanket if you wish.

For anyone wanting to design your own, this beginners Fusion 360 tutorial guides you through the process. Step by step instuctions available here.
