Chunky chain - alternating coloured links by sclarkee

Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago
A chunky chain which allows for alternating links to be different colours.
This will make a chain around 70cm long. You can easy make a continuous loop and keep extending the chain using the below technique
So the way this works is:
do one complete print in one colour. This will give you 16 'yellow' links that you remove from the build plate.
change colours (eg blue) and start the build again.
When the build is about 30mm high you will be able to drop the 'yellow' links on to the partially formed 'blue' links.
Have fun adding the 'yellow' links without stopping the print. It adds a certain challenge to a fun build.
If you want the chain longer repeat the above process and 'link in' your previous chain length. The photos show a chain length of 46 links (longer than the 32 that would be naturally built).
I wanted the basis for a cool chain to make a yu-gi-oh millenium puzzle. I thought this would look good, and it does!
