I love to design and make things that we can use. My goal is commercial-quality, functional and innovative designs that provide utility, solve problems, and improve quality of life. but sometimes also just things that are fun!

I am driven by the virtually unlimited potential of 3D printers to bring ideas to life. I am particularly passionate about:

  • Utility and Functionality: Crafting designs that allow you to do things you couldn’t do before, or can now do more easily or effectively.
  • Quality of Life (QoL) Improvements: Designing tools and aids that simplify tasks, organize spaces, and enhance efficiency.
  • Games and Puzzles: Creating fun and challenging puzzles that leverage the complexity achievable with 3D printing.

I try to test every design I upload on multiple printers and using multiple materials to ensure as best as possible your success when printing my designs.

This is a system of chains and accessories that can be combined in nearly endless combinations for all sorts of purposes. You can snap lengths of chain together to make a longer chain (of unlimited length).

The chain links are 10mm long, 8mm high and 12mm wide so I am calling this the 101208 series. This design has been arrived at by balancing size with some meaningful strength. It has a pull strength of about 16kg / 35 lbs when printed in PETG.

The design revolves around a single common chain link and then a single male and female clasp side. With these, endless chains can be created and any conceivable accessory can be added.

When the male side of the clasp is inserted into the female side of the clasp, the hooks on the end of the male side catch into slots on the sides of the female clasp. These are dependent on the prongs of the male clasp flexing inward as the clasp is inserted and then flexing back out once it is fully inserted.

My original plan was that you could use your fingers to release the clasp but I found it was too small and as a result, I needed to create a key to release it. The key works is applied across the clasp and once fully seated presses the male side hooks inward and allows the clasp to be pulled apart.

I have designed a variety of loops and hooks as well as a super small ring intended for use with a steel key ring.

Printing

Material: I choose to use PETG for its durability and flexibility.

My Settings: Nozzle = 0.4mm Layer height = 0.2mm Line width = 0.40mm Wall count = 4 (1.6mm) Infill = 40%

Support: Designed to print without support being added. I have designed in support for the male side of the clasp as shown.

Commercial Licensing is available through my logicalplanet Memberships here on Thangs. I will customize and provide commercial support to members on request.

I am committed to helping everyone get great print results to the extent I can so please contact me if you are having issues I enjoy trying to help resolve those challenges. I welcome requests, suggestions and ideas to help make this and all my products better. Please send me a message any time.
