This model is inspired by Agustin's Chainmail but as you can see it is all my own design, so I have not done it as a remix. I have added 8 sizes that are ready for printing but if you want more read down below on how to make your own unique parametric design.

HOW TO ALTER PARAMETERS:

  • When you open the file in openscad it should show these parameters right at the top:

section_size = 13;  (The width of each link in the Chainmail)
bar_thickness = 2; (The thickness of beams within each link)
section_height = 4; (The height of each link)
yrows = 14; (the number of links along the y axis)
xrows = 14: (the number of links along the x axis)

  • Simply change the numbers to you plant's size(mm) and then press F5 to preview your progress, once you are happy with the result export the file.

HOW TO EXPORT:

  • Once you have altered the parameters accordingly you can export the file as an stl for 3d printing, you do this by pressing F6 on your keyboard to render and then pressing file in the top right, then pressing export and then export as stl
