Introducing the Chainmail Pants, a unique and versatile 3D printable model perfect for medieval and fantasy enthusiasts. These pants are printed in two pieces, easily joined at the sides, or you can opt to use a single piece based on your design preference. The model features layered rings that interlock and unfold to form the full length of the pants. Included are separate open rings for custom assembly. Ideal for cosplay and historical reenactments, this model offers a blend of practicality and authenticity in modern 3D printing.

Printing Settings

VERY IMPORTANT It is imperative that both the general layer height and the first layer height are set to 0.3mm. The model is meticulously designed with this specific layer height in mind to ensure optimal adhesion among the rings and to the platform. Deviating from this set layer height could adversely affect the print's integrity, risking failure. Troubleshooting tip: If rings detach mid-print, it could be due to collisions while moving between rings. To prevent this, use a Z lift of 0.5 mm. Key Specifications:

• Critical Adhesion: Good adherence to the build plate is crucial for preventing warping and deformations that may ruin ring geometry, leading to assembly or wear issues.
• No Supports Needed: The model includes built-in supports where necessary.
• Adhesion Platform: A specialized platform enhances ring-to-bed adhesion, preventing print failures.
• Leveling Aid: The adhesion platform doubles as a leveling assistant.
• Optimized Layer Heights: Designed for a 0.3mm layer height for optimal adhesion between rings.
• Stringing: Use DRY filament to avoid stringing
• Slice Time: Complex polygonal design requires patience in slicing; Additional Information Ensure your printer is well-calibrated and the bed is leveled for optimal results. Maintain bed adhesion by keeping the bed clean and free of grease. Use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning and apply adhesive if necessary
