Sprocket Chain Becomes Bracelet

myminifactory

I was designing a chain for a sprocket drive project when my wife saw it and thought it was a bracelet, so she snapped it onto her wrist. That's how the "Sprocket Chain Becomes Bracelet" thing started - it's a repurposed item that had a new purpose from the start. This design prints fully assembled and ready to wear on your favorite wrist, which is a first for my designs since I didn't include any motor parts or require cranking or cyanoacrylate. To make the bracelet fit your wrist, simply snip off the chain segments from the non-hook end of the chain. My wife liked it as a bracelet, and maybe yours will too. If you print two or more chains and snap them together, they become a "Sprocket Chain Becomes Necklace." Who knew that could happen? I designed this using Sketchup 8, and printed it on a Replicator 2 in PLA with Makerware 2.3.3.42 "Standard" settings.
