The Missing Link -customizable bling by stellarinnovation

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

A customizable chain link, from which you can create all sorts of bracelets, chains and straps.
After a few failed design iterations (weak axles, problematic overhangs, chains that fell apart) I settled for this one. It lies flat on the print bed and the axles are printed horizontally. It takes a little force to snap the links together, but the chain will stay in one piece.
The basic parts of the chain are called type-A (a link with axles) and type-B (a link with bushings). Additional parts are:
Type-C, the center link that can be of a different width that the other links.
Type-M, the magnet lock part
Type-P, which has a pocket,
Type-T, the transformation link, which can be used to connect links of different widths.
There are lots of parameters that you can tweak (explained below). When first opened in the Customizer, the parameter settings are the same as the ones used to generate the attached STL files.
Greatly appreciated if you post pictures of your makes, enjoy!
