This is the ninth iteration of my attempts to create a strong flexible chain mail system not limited to print bed size. I'm almost happy with the design (mk 9.x items have non-printed parts but far greater strength) and plan to create more scales that when fastened will prevent the links from being undone.  Larger layer heights are acceptable- this piece will be covered by the scale- I print them at 0.3mm at drafting speeds and they function as intended. I also print them upside down so as to print no support inside the screw hole and to give the scales a rougher, more organic aesthetic as they break away from supports.
