Basic Chainmail on Base

This is just a little swatch of chainmail I made. It's a great alternative to other fidget toys, I find it's really satisfying to roll around my hand while I'm working.

The pattern is european 4-in-1, in 10mm diameter rings with a 1.6mm diamter cross-section. The the final piece is 36x8 rings and just about fills the photon's print bed.

I've included the f3d file, so if anyone wants to remix a larger sheet for something with a larger print-bed, go nuts!

The rings are on a basic raft with some corner-tabs to help getting it free of the bed. I added a set of gutters to the bottom to help with adhesion. I was having major suction issues with the first few attempts, and the gutters really helped with that.

The STL is pretty crazy high resolution, I'm still getting a feel for how low res I can afford to make my STLs for the photon without impacting print quality.

Enjoy!
