Just wanted to mess around with designing a chain that will print in place - the current design has 4 links, but in your slicer, you can duplicate the first model and then overlap the second one on the original, just ensure that the model does not intersect at any point and it'll print fine!

I've also included a single link for you to mess around with!

Due to Solidworks being Solidworks, the chain will probably come into Cura standing on its end, just rotate it round so that one of the chamfers are flat on the bed - see included Cura screenshot if unsure

Happy printing :)

Print instructions

Printer Brand: Creality

Printer: CR-10S

Rafts: Doesn't Matter

Supports: No

Resolution: 0.2

Notes:

The links sit at 60 degrees, so unless your printer is absolutely terrible at sharpish angles, then you won't need supports. Leave a comment if you have any questions!
