My daughter wanted a chain chomp .... I wanted to experiment with making a chain that didn't need supports.
I tried downloading a chomp, but the way it was oriented the teeth wouldn't print correctly. This one prints facing upwards, with the inside of the teeth rounded so that they can print without supports.
Watch the beginning of the print carefully, until the chain is printed. The chain is the weakest link here. If one of the early links spaghettifies, abort the print.
The main model has built-in non-touching supports under the chain, and around the bottom of the chomp. If you prefer to use 'real' supports, print chain_chomp_needs_supports.
Printer: M3D Micro
Rafts: Doesn't Matter
Supports: No
Resolution: Medium
Infill: Medium
Notes:
Self-supporting, by using some throwaway bits to keep the ball from rolling off. You may prefer to use supports.
Built from scratch in OpenSCAD.
