Beskrivelse

This OpenSCAD script generates a snake-like chain link with customizable ball-and-socket joints. Unlike traditional snake chains, these links can be printed separately and easily snapped together. The ball joint allows each link to rotate freely, creating a more fluid, snake-like movement of the scales compared to axis-restricted hinges. 🔧 Parametric design The squircle-based link shape is fully adjustable, with options to modify the squareness, wave distortion, and base dimensions for both organic and mechanical designs. 🌍 Open Source The ball joint and socket modules are designed as reusable OpenSCAD modules that you can include in your own projects.
