Description

If you are looking for a version of this with a coif (chainmail hood ) attached I have just uploaded one here https://makerworld.com/en/models/2373052-chainmail-hood-coif-for-cosplay#profileId-2597481

connecting links are here https://makerworld.com/en/models/780352-chainmail-connecting-link#profileId-1068133

I am using the pattern for the mail on https://www.ironskin.com/mail-collar-and-bishops-mantle/ .

There are 2 versions, the compact version is specially stacked to fit multiple parts on one build plate. on a 300x300 volume I can fit the full mantle in 2 plates printing times around 3 days per plate. The other is just flat on the plate no stacking.

needed:

3x Large triangles

2x small triangles (L and R if using the compact)

4x squares

2x neck parts

(optional 2x 6-1Neckedge parts)

roughly 250 connector links

for collar

I uploaded a print profile for this, hope you don't mind. Lots of work tying them together but it looks great! i chose to weave some leather strips up the back to tie it together.

Originally failed print but switched pla from silk to normal & printed from the phone app vs desktop. There’s still issues with some links popping off when it gets to 48th layer-they get in the way of the nozzle so you have to babysit & remove to prevent damage to printer. I didn’t have time to print the neck pieces so I used ribbon to secure the neck area/lace it up in. method for connecting all the pieces is the European 4:1- takes 2+ hrs to connect all the pieces so give yourself time.

@Alowan

that sword! awesome! something you can find here?

@Horvaticus

I have a quick question if you've got the time - I'm having a bit of a hard time visualizing your instructions! I've got everything printed out, but I was wondering what the layout of the mail looks like. In your image, it looks like the first large triangle is in the front, but do you then attach rectangles to it (image 1) - or do you attach the other triangles to it (image 2)? Thank you!

@History_Weaves

hey there so sorry it took a week to get back to you, its the first version you have shown with the alternating triangles and rectrangles

@Horvaticus

Replying to @History_Weaves :

No worries, thank you again!

@mballantine

I didn't get any good photos of the chainmail from the front but here I am wearing mine! Printed in white and spray painted metallic 😄 I love it! The assembly took so long and I had some issues with the connector links failing a lot but it was all worth it in the end. Especially when you consider how long it takes to create real chainmail and how heavy it would be! Though you do end up learning how to assemble chainmail when you have to attach all the parts together. Really fun project 💚

It makes me so happy to see people using the mantle for renfairs and costumes! Thank you for sharing,

Replying to @History_Weaves :

Thank you so much for making and uploading the model!

@mballantine

First piece printed perfectly with the print profile! Thank you! 🤩 It actually looks/feels amazing, I can't wait to get the rest printed and assemble it. I'm also going to attempt to spray paint it metallic so will check in if that worked or not 🤞 One small issue I had is that the bottom layer of the rings is getting stuck to the base, does anyone have tips for getting it off intact?

@mballantine

I used a textured plate to print this onto as well :)

Spray painted some pieces last night and I'm beyond buzzin

@user_2251550200

looks awesome painted! which layer height were you using? I'm trying to print the big triangles, but I can't achieve anything less than 10 hours :(

@no_heroes

Thanks for this! It turned out great for my LEGO Lion Knight costume. It seems like the neck pieces aren't really sized correctly, but I improvised and made it work.

@Glyphalcon

It does seem like the neck pieces are sized oddly, regardless of how I try to assemble them. It'd be helpful to have some clearer guidance on this part.

I’m hoping you can help me find what I’ve missed. My print jobs keep failing, some worse than others.

@Harbinger47

I've got the same problems! Does anyone have a solution?

@skexone

Material doesn't look like it was dried enough, but I might be wrong

I needed a protector for the crotch of my Sauron cosplay. I clamped several triangles into a long rectangle. That was no fun, but it was worth it

Nearly perfect chain mail print profile. The small triangles had an error in the same spot on either. Makes me think it's the model or profile.

@History_Weaves

Interesting, I have had a look at both model and profile and they dont have an issue via the slicer, I may try printing out a small triangle again to see if there is an issue. thank you for the comment!

Try a 0.16mm layer height for superior quality

Show original

@mballantine

I tried 0.16 layer height and filament just got all gunked up around the nozzle which caused the print to fail, it was only on the first layer when that happened though so I was able to stop it.
