Story: Making chainmail is a hobby of mine and this was a way for me to make something in 3D printing that crossed over with that hobby.
Models: There are two models required to make this tree. One is the larger ring and the other is the rings that hold the larger rings together. You will need 11 of the large ones and 20 of the smaller smaller ones.
Printing: I printed all of these using PLA at 20% infill and with supports.
The large rings are made to be comfortably printed on an ender 3 printer which is what I used. There isn't much else to say about these except that they took about 9 hours each to print and in total took about 750g of filament.
The file for the smaller rings is only half the ring and it requires two to be printed for each ring. Each set of 2 took about 2hrs 20min to print and in total took about 250g of filament.
Assembling: At each joint where the larger rings meet, take two of the half smaller rings and connect them in such a way to hold the two larger rings next to each other. They should be able to rotate comfortably.
The tolerances for the small rings connections are very close, so they will be difficult to press together. I did this on purpose to avoid using glue so it can be taken apart easily if needed. If it is too tight for you, I found that clipping the corners of the protrusions off made it a lot easier to fit, but also made the connections weaker so be careful.
The smaller rings are made to be oblong in order to keep the larger rings from sliding on top of each other; however, they do not fully remove this issue. The larger rings will still tend to slide on top of the ones to the left and right, but you can decide where they go. I really liked alternating the direction of the overlap between each row as you may be able to tell in the attached picture.
Other: After you have the tree, use a wreath hanger to mount it to any door you desire (I got mine from Walmart for like $3). Wrap some battery powered Christmas lights around the rings to light it up if you like.
I am planning on making some clip on ornaments that either span the inside of the big rings or hang off the sides, but please feel free to make anything that will latch on if you have an idea.
