Transform your 3D printer into a medieval forge with this advanced multi-layer chainmail design. Optimized to use every millimeter of your build plate, this model allows you to print an enormous, flexible chainmail sheet — larger than your printer’s surface — in one continuous piece. What’s Included: Chainmail sheet: 170 × 35 cm / 140 × 55 cm (see notes below) Calibration test file – to fine-tune your settings before the full print Single ring file – ideal for testing, repairs, or custom extensions

Printing Settings

Printing Requirements:Minimum build plate: 360 × 340 mmNozzle: 0.4 mmLift height: 0.5 mm (critical to prevent collisions)Material: PLA standardNozzle temperature: 215 °CBed temperature: 60 °CFirst layer height: 0.3 mmLayer height: 0.3 mmInfill: 0 %Printed and tested on a Prusa XL using near-default settings.Size / orientation:

• Stretched tall (vertical): ~170 × 35 cm (long and narrow)
• Stretched wide (horizontal): ~140 × 55 cm (shorter and wider)These two sizes are the same sheet measured in different stretch directions due to ring geometry.Note: Slicing may take over 30 minutes depending on your computer — just let it process.A ready-to-print G-Code file for Prusa XL is included for your convenience.Pro Tip:In your slicer’s layer preview, ensure that when one ring passes over another, the Z-axis lifts 0.5 mm before descending — this setting prevents layer collisions and guarantees a flawless print.
