About this model

I've spent over 20 years making chainmail out of steel and various other metals but it always suffered from the same issue... too heavy to wear every day. With the help of a 3D printer and a lot of trial and error, I have been able to create a printable, repeatable, and light weight chainmail pattern. I have also designed a ring that can be used to join multiple pieces together to make bigger pieces. Using only a soldering iron to "Weld" the ends closed. There are only two files. You will have to either modify or print and remove rings from the sheet. If you decide to make something similar to this Sleeveless Hoodie I made. Consider yourself warned. The hoodie I made took over 250 hours to print and over 40 hours to assemble. If you do not make or understand how to make chainmail turn back…
