We will now make a link for a 3d printable chain mail.
Make the blocks you will need to make the link
2 x Edge Blocks
1 x Cross Block
5 x Riser Blocks
Use the allign tool to allign the cross block to the first Edge block
Group the Alligned edge and cross block
Use the allign tool to allign the second cross block
Group the 3 shapes of the base together to form the "Bottom H-block"
Allign the first riser block to the center of the H-block
Group the center riser to the H-block
Allign the remaining risers to the corners, grouping after each riser is alligned
Take the second H-Block and flip it upside-down
Rotate the upside-down block 90 degrees so tht it goes from "H" to "I" shape (Rotate it around the Z axis)
Use the allign tool to center the H and I blocks together.
Group the H and I blocks to form the link
DO NOT DRAG AND DROP, use the arrow keys to move links
Duplicated the Link
Set the snap grid to 0.5mm
Move the link using the arrow keys until the link corner of the moving link is centered in the equare hole of the stationary link
Group the 2 links together
Duplicate the 2 links
Use the arrow keys to move the links so that the corner of one link is in the center of the remaining links
Group the 4 links together
Repeat until you have a 4 x 4 piece of chainmail
