Description
This model is V1. Check out V2 here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1637115-satisfying-chain-linked-fabric-fidget-v2 It features a two-color full-size version that works with the A1 mini. It has flat edges with more durability because of its thicker links.
This flexible, 3D-printable chainmail fabric, designed in Tinkercad, features interlocking links for a lightweight, posable texture that makes fun sounds with a satisfying feel. Perfect for fidgeting, decoration, or just for fun. Prints easily on any Bambu Lab printer with PLA (I haven't tested any other types of filament). I used a 0.4mm nozzle. Fits the A1 mini. I recommend using a bed adhesive and printing at a slower speed for the first layer if you have had bed sticking issues.
There are over a thousand types of fabric on Maker World, so why choose this one? My links are designed with larger gaps where they link with each other. This not only makes the fabric cheaper but also more flexible, allowing it to expand or contract as shown in the second GIF. I also offer a thinner version of my fabric for an even cheaper and faster print. These links are also hard to tangle, even when the fabric is crumpled or roughly messed with.
[In the picture, it says only 29 grams. However, on the model download, it says 30 grams. This is because after I printed, my printer said it only used 29 grams.]
