12 Interlocked Rings

thingiverse

Inspired by Guru's 2 interlocking rings, I created a replica and added 10 more! The image displays the print immediately after completion; the process took 1 hour and 10 minutes. Post-editing of the files led to resolving an issue with one of the rings. To ensure proper adhesion during printing, I used a raft despite having a heated build platform. Opting for a single base and interface layer, I consider leaving the rings attached as the foundation. When employing a raft in Skeinforge 0006, set the "Raft Outset Radius over Extrusion Width (ratio)" to less than 10 to avoid nozzle collision with screw head on build platform. The printing process became tricky towards the final stages of completing the hoops' tops, and I experienced one misalignment; however, the finished product appeared decent.
