This is not what you think it is. What it is is a fiendishly difficult 3D puzzle. If you are able to solve it please leave a comment and photo here. I don't expect to see many of those.
Here is the story behind this print:
Several months ago I saw a posting from someone who wanted to 3D print some chainmail. If you don't know what chainmail is, look here: https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product-category/armour/chainmail-armour/. The fact that medieval craftsman were able to make chainmail is mind boggling itself, given the crude hand tools they had to work with. But we are more fortunate - we have fancy machines that can easily make the interlocking links that form chainmail.
Since chainmail does require an interesting 3D solution I thought I'd try to make a simple design of interlocking links that can be 3D printed. Chainmail.stl is the result; it is 8 links of what could be an arbitrarily large array.
The first photo shows the links right after printing. Notice tha
