Description

A basic chain intended as a keychain fob but also just fun to play with.

Recommended:

  • Print with 6+ walls to give it some weight. It makes it feel much nicer.
  • Make sure your dimensions and elephant-foot compensation are decently tuned.  It's not a tight model, but there's also not a lot of room before it starts to bind.

Model Options:

  • The “condensed” versions have shorter links and thus more links-per-size.  Which one you like is entirely personal preference – they're both nice in my opinion.  The brown and peach ones in the cover photo are ‘normal’ and the others are ‘condensed’.
  • “Short” is around 9cm, “Medium” is around 12cm, and “Long” is around 15cm (the two styles are a bit different; it's just based on the number of links).

Inspired in particular by https://www.printables.com/model/1127201-sleek-articulated-flexi-keychain and the many other chain models but I wanted a specific style and feature set.
