Triangle Chain/"Fabric" Links

I've seen some intriguing examples of 3D-printed fabric-like materials around, and they're quite impressive. The issue I have with most of them is that they rely heavily on pre-made plates and sometimes post-printing infilling. That's all perfectly valid, but I wanted to try my own approach. This design comes together with springy rings around the corner legs of each piece, creating a sturdy yet flexible connection. I'm planning to experiment with a version that can seamlessly integrate both the small and large pieces together. This will likely involve adding another leg to the edge of the larger version, allowing for a more fluid transition between the two.
