Chainmail connector

thingiverse

I made two connectors from the chainmail https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3096598 Using MeshLab, I am able to extract the two components, then using TinkerCAD to cut small gaps. These two connectors are slightly different. Connector 1 is slightly taller than connector 2. They alternate to weave/join together different sizes of chainmail. Or I guess using just one type of connector will do (Note: connector 2 will do). When connecting, watch out the pattern and direction. Connectors may not be easy to print. Suggest to print one first, then may print 9 at once. If your printer is level well and no serious stringing then you may print more at once. Also included is a 9x5 size of chainmail. Using TinkerCAD is easy to combine and make different sizes of chainmail. The image of the chainmail top requires 5 x full size chainmail from the chainmail thing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3096598, and 6 of 9x5 chainmail in this thing for the two straps, with a number of connectors. Potentially, using the connectors, you may create things such as belts, straps, bags, collages. If you do, please share your creations with links in the comments.
