This fully parametric chainmail-style printed fabric is customizable in every way—you can adjust the number of layers, link size, thickness, and overall dimensions to fit your needs.

The design also includes optional joints to seamlessly connect multiple sheets. Just print the joints, align the sections, and use a 3D pen to close the loops for a flexible, scalable fabric.

I've uploaded a small multi-part test print to get you started, but you can generate much larger sheets using the Thingiverse Customizer. Experiment with different settings to create anything from a flexible textile to a rigid interlocking structure.

Perfect for cosplay, armor, wearable tech, or just experimenting with printed flexibility!
