Roller Chain
Roller Chain
Challenge Objective - 3D model a roller chain link of your own design and print a series of five links without print supports. When completed, the link should move as a roller-type chain.
Criteria
Must be designed in SolidWorks
Prepared in a slicer for additive manufacturing
3D printed in PLA filament
An individual link cannot take up more space than 20mm²
Test prints (no more than two links) are required before full prints (no more than 5 links)
No slicer-generated supports allowed
(Finished product)
(Slicer of all the links connected)
test drawings
final test print
two test link print
