Tolerance Chain

I was intrigued by the possibility of printing moving parts in one seamless process. So, I created this innovative design. It effortlessly transitions from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm distance between the links and loops. Version one was optimized for flat printing, while version two was designed with side printing in mind. Although it's far from perfect, it was a fascinating challenge to tackle. Please give it a try and let me know how far along the chain functions for you. Check out my timelapse videos of these parts being printed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ama30Ix_eU0&t=19s
