A remix of CMeehanPrint's rendition of NASA's 3D printed chainmail fabric/armor. I followed the instructions on his site pretty loosely and I also thickened the base from 0.45mm to a little over 1mm. The parts were designed and assembled in SolidWorks and printed on the Stratasys J750. The parts include a square link, a triangular link, and a chainmail with a tessellating pattern of squares and triangles.
