How to use it
- Add the pendant artwork in the left panel: SVG, PNG/JPG, text or a shape, then set its size, border and backing.
- Pick a link style (Cuban, Curb, Rolo or Chunky) and the shape: round, oval or square loop, or a straight chain.
- Set the chain length. A closed loop is rounded to a whole, even number of links.
- Choose two alternating colours for the links, and the pendant colours and style.
- Export the 3MF (colours), print flat with no supports and flex the links free.
What you can do
Print-in-place links
Each link leans the opposite way to its neighbours so they interlock with a clearance and every link rests on the bed. Link size adjusts itself if neighbouring links would touch.
Pendant
The artwork engine of the Keychain maker: image colours, flush, raised or layered style. The pendant is joined to one link by a short neck.
Fine tuning
Link length, width, wire thickness, lean angle, clearance and a flat footprint for bed grip.
Tips
If the links stick together, raise the clearance by 0.1 mm.
A 480 mm loop slips over most heads; check it fits your print bed.
