Drag Chain

pinshape

Summary: This customizable drag chain can be tailored through the Thingiverse customizer or directly from its source code. Two standard sizes are available, but users can print any number of links and choose whether to include chain mounts. The performance of this chain rivals that of commercial chains. Instructions: Printing requirements vary depending on printer capabilities, but assembling the chain design yields optimal results. Users should print as many links as their print bed accommodates, taking advantage of 45-degree rotation to maximize space. Once printed, the chain may require loosening due to fusion from the printing process. If the chain breaks during this step, increasing the "Anti Stick" parameter and patiently working the links loose can help. A shell thickness between 1.5 and 2mm typically produces the best results, with minimal chain size limited by printer calibration and quality.
