3d Printable Dwarven Chain

Human: Dwarven Chain for 3D Printing. This chain is designed to be printed flat and assembled, perfect as a typical 4 in 1 pattern. The links are approximately 2cm wide. The links are printed in sets with a small amount of connecting plastic between them to ensure better adhesion to the build plate. You can easily snap these apart or cut them if needed. I have only tested printing this chain with ABS, but PLA may be too brittle and prone to breaking when snapping together. This design includes both 8-sided and 6-sided links. The 6-sided links are simpler in design while the 8-sided links feature engraved runes for a more detailed print. These links print well on my .5mm nozzle setting. To assemble the chain, you will need to snip half of the 8-sided links using an exacto knife so they can be woven together seamlessly. I have also included a "starter row" that simplifies the initial weaving process, making it easier for you to create your Dwarven Chain.
