Chain link has these following advantages:
- Fits into the chain, designed with same functionality as the original.
- Walls are 0.5mm stronger (so that they don't crack).
- Has PTFE tube support, towards the inside of the chain, so that the link does not rub against the printer lid or if you have risers like me.
- The support is not a full ring, in case you have a Gcode that can generate tangle of the tube, so in case there is too much force it will snap out (in this case you should reposition the link.
- Added some filets inside the link to avoid cracking.
I printed in PLA just fine as the temperature in the room does not exceed 40 degrees.
I suggest to print with 100% infill, at 0.1mm layer heigth, in the position that you first load the STL file, with tree slim supports. This way, there will be minimum support interacting very little with key elements/ tollerances.
For the configuration, in my case it works best having only 3 supports in the first half of the chain, the rest is free.
