At the Engaget Expand conference, I had the pleasure of experiencing this amaxing chain at the Maketbot table. I was determined to make one.
The kids were on board, so we got to printing the Rhombic Dodecahedra Chain, downloaded from Thingiverse. It prints in a single print, and flexes right off the raft. It was incredible to watch and hard to wrap one's head around.
The final product:
What's next?
- figuring out the dual extrusion to make alternating colored links?
- the full-sized Dodeca Chain Loop?
- Chain of Hearts?
- Medium Hoop CHAIN MAIL?!?!
Looks like we have plenty to experiment with!
