Description

After trying out several print-in-place fabrics, I decided to create my own!

 

This diamond-patterned, 3D-printed chainmail fabric is both flexible and sturdy. Start with the 35mm test swatch to make sure everything is set up correctly, but the larger 120mm and 250mm versions are where the real fun is! These models keep the highest quality details, so they might take a bit longer to slice—around 10-15 minutes for the 250mm version—but it's definitely worth the wait. They are also pretty darn sturdy!

 

Once printed, let the fabric cool on the plate. I printed all of mine from a textured plate and they came off really easily, but if you need help, a plastic scraper can do the trick—just make sure to let it cool down first.

Pro tip: Don't squeeze any of the 'scales', they'll squash quite easily

So i do have a slightly beefed up version of them, but im having a hard time figuring out how to get the file size down for the 3mf and stl while keeping the strength. If i "simplify" the model, it seems to thin out the legs a bit. I guess with enough pressure though, they'll all squash eventually :p

It worked very well it’s very satisfied and it worked perfectly. The only problem was two of the corners weren’t fully connected, but that was fine.

Thank you and thanks for the boost! Yeah the way the linkages work, those corners just don't have any other pieces to grab onto.

I will say, honestly, the small one seems way more flexible but the larger 120 is way better imo!

It doesn't move well after detaching, it's only slightly flexible but not at all like fabric What is the problem

Interesting, im wondering if somehow yours got fused together? Once detached from the bed, each piece should move individually. I am wondering if maybe you have some over extrusion that may cause the legs to be thicker than normal and causing them to weld together? They are very tight tolerances but when they print they were built to not touch. You can see that in the slicer as well. I used a .4 nozzle as well.

That's likely the issue, I believe. A pity.
