Description
This is single link of a hose cage/protector that is seen on the back of the suit and helmet that the character, Sapper Morton is wearing in Blade Runner 2049.
Affixing links to each other requires 2 5x6mm button-head bolts and washers. The are threaded from the outside and hold the interior tabs (not threaded) together. Fits on 1" hose.
Printed 30% Infill in PETG
I was inspired to create this for 3D printing after seeing Adam Savage's video where he created these links out of aluminum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIbb-Bck8wc
My design differs from his final creation as the inner tabs on mine are symmetrical to the outside tabs and have a recessed area that allows full range of motion, allowing the inner tabs to be stronger (needed in 3D printing).
