3D model description

Inspired by the chain mechanism on bicycles, I decided to have a go at creating one that could be 3D printed. This is the result, requiring no support, and featuring a print-in-place chain without any end-links.

In the beginning the chain will be a bit tight, but it will fit if you stretch it a bit, and it will wear itself in with time.

Good luck printing it, and hope you have fun with it :)
