The goal of this chain mail design was to simplify each loop as much as possible so the pattern can be shrunk to a minimum printable size while still maintaining good strength and flexibility. Each loop links 3 of other loops which I think is more flexible (most designs found on Thingiverse link 4). The natural shape for a 3-link loop is a hexagon but I distorted it to a more triangular shape so each link crosses at 90 degrees. This allows the printed gap between loops to be more controllabl
