This is a minimalist and straightforward roller chain fabricated solely using laser cutting technology. It's crafted from 3mm MDF material, showcasing its uncomplicated design. The center distance measures precisely 17mm. The outer links feature square centers, while the inner links boast rounded centers. To ensure smooth operation, you'll need to carefully sand the pinion to match the chain's thickness. Future redesigns of the pinions will prioritize aesthetics. Custom Section Step 1 Drive pins into an outside link, securing them in place with a gentle push. Alternatively, you can opt for gluing the pieces together. Step 2 Carefully insert three small round pieces through each pin, without relying on glue to hold them in place. Step 3 Insert an inside link onto each pin, followed by a roller and finally another inside link to complete the assembly. Step 4 Finish the roller chain by closing it with an outside link.
