Summary

Attempt at making myself a chainmail. I have not yet printed it successfully... Let me know if you do!

How I Designed This

made with Open SCAD. code below

            <div><p>/<em> [TRIANGLE] </em>/<br>A=[0,0];<br>B=[10,20];<br>C=[20,0];</p><p>/<em> [TILING] </em>/<br>rows= 5; //[0:10]<br>columns= 4; //[0:10]</p><p>/<em>[VARIABLES]</em>/<br>rotation=13; //[0:40]<br>SHIFTX=22; //[0:40]<br>SHIFTX2=22; //[0:40]<br>SHIFTY=14; //[0:40]<br>SHIFTY2=14; //[0:40]<br>Z=3; //[-10:10]</p><p>// BUILD THE OUTLINE OF A 3D TRIANGLE<br>module triangleOutline(){<br>difference() {<br>linear_extrude(2) offset(r = 2, delta=10, chamfer=false) {<br>polygon([A, B, C]);<br>}<br>linear_extrude(2) offset(r = 0.2) {<br>polygon([A, B, C]);<br>}<br>}<br>}</p><p>// RED GRID OF TRIANGLES<br>for (i=[0:columns],<br>j=[0:rows])<br>color("red")<br>translate([i<em>SHIFTX,j</em>SHIFTY,-Z/2])<br>rotate([rotation,0,0])<br>triangleOutline()<br>;</p><p>// BLUE GRID OF TRIANGLES<br>for (i=[0:columns],<br>j=[0:rows])<br>color("blue")<br>translate([i<em>SHIFTX2+11,j</em>SHIFTY2+6, Z/2])<br>rotate([-rotation,0,0])<br>triangleOutline()<br>;</p></div>
