After seeing Adam Savage's One Day Build where he created aluminum hose protector links for his gorgeous new Sapper Morton Helmet replica prop, I decided I needed to try designing one for 3D printing. My design differs in that the inner tabs are symmetrical arches (stronger for plastic), instead of small rectangles, to the outside tabs and there is a recessed area to allow for full range of motion.
It's the first from-scratch 3D design I have ever made so it may not be perfect.
Needs 2 5×6mm button head bolts and washer per link. The bolts screw through the washer in from the outside and it will retain the inner tabs of the next link.
