NASA Chainmail Necktie
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
What is it?
========
A 3D necktie based on [NASA's Chainmail design](https://www.wired.com/story/nasa-fabric-chain-mail-from-the-future/#:~:text=The%20shiny%20space%20fabric%20pulls%20triple%20duty.&text=Researchers%20at%20JPL%20spent%20the,fabric%20isn't%20welded%20together.).
This is my first project and luckily other contributors already completed a lot of the heavy lifting - a huge thanks to [TurboDork](https://www.thingiverse.com/turbodork/designs/) for developing the 3D models for the NASA Chainmail Fabric and to [tjwatson](https://www.thingiverse.com/tjwatson/designs) for developing a swappable tie coupling and knot system.
How to Print and Assemble?
===================
To print a full tie, you will need to print the upper, middle, and lower sections. After you print the sections you will need to print ten links (five between each section) and carefully weave the sections together.
tjwatson created a plain knot and a deco knot that you can attach to the front of the coupler [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4125959) - please note that these knots require supports.
You can use Bowtie straps to make the necktie easy to put on and take off - this is what I used:
