CHAIN, free X-Y-Z movement

grabcad

Nothing fancy, in terms of rendering, surface finishing and other suppa-duppa SW freaks demonstrations. The model is editable, based on already set-up configurations. In order to create your own, custom sizes (diameter of link's material, center-to-center distance as well as the clearance between the links), first you have to manipulate/edit the LINK part (e.g., add new configuration). Then you change the assembly model to assign this new LINK custom configuration, creating another configuration inside the assembly environment and voila - job's done. By suppressing or deleting separate links, you can achieve the required chain total length. As modelled at the moment, this chain has little less than 400 links and measures about 7 m in length. Happy "chaining", fellows - cheers... Angelo...
