To use:
Put the chainText.scad and the chainText.json files in the same directory, and open chainText.scad in OpenSCAD, a free cross platform app. In OpenSCAD’s menu bar, open the Customizer pane. This gives you sliders and controls to adjust the print.
If `Angle=0`, you get a straight line chain. Increase this and you'll bend the chain into the arc of a circle. If you set `Curl` to something greater than zero, you'll bend the circle into a spiral.
Double check for all the letters that the letter on one link doesn't touch the letter on another link. Double check, if you adjust the `TorusThick` or the `InnerR` that there is sufficient clearance that, when printed, you'll be able to move a link within its neighbor. The default values work, even when the finished STL is printed at 50%.
When you have a design to your liking, use OpenSCAD's menu bar to **Render**, then **Export as STL**.
chainText.scad is just a text file, you can edit it in any text editor, not just in Open
