This is a chainsaw with a working hand cranked chain. It is modeled after a popular brand of chain saws. Most parts require supports. I did all the parts in PLA, but any material you're comfortable with should work. Infill % shouldn't matter for any of the parts. The longest parts are just over 200mm, so they should fit diagonally on most printers. Also, sorry but i still haven't figured out how to orient the stls that get posted here so they are the correct direction for printing so you'll have to rotate most of the parts to print them.
There are 2 versions of the chain, flat and clawed. The flat chain is easier to print and smoother on the skin if you expect it to be attacked with it.
It requires 44 links. The chain is in groups of 6 so print 8 sets of them and you'll have a few extra.
Hardware required (Minimums. All can be a little longer if thats what you have):
Qty 4 - M4 x 12
Qty 6 - M3 x 10
Qty 4 - M3 x 22

NOTE: I plan on creating a another version in the future with a geared drive for the chain for it to spin faster with a crank or motor option, but that could all take a while.
Any comments, suggestions, or issues please comment.
