Dual Loop Ribbon Chain Link C48 18inch-30gm 3D print model

This 3D model represents a single link of a gold chain, featuring an interlocking design with two connected rings. It is designed for jewelry manufacturing and is suitable for both 3D printing and lost-wax casting.

Dimensions:Overall Length: 8.00 mmWeight: 400 milligrams (0.4 grams) - Gold 14K Approx

Desired Length: 18 inchesConversion to Millimeters: 18 inches * 25.4 mm/inch = 457.2 mmNumber of Links: 457.2 mm / 6 mm/link = 76.2 linksWeight of a Single Link: 400 mg = 0.4 grams

*Total Weight of 18 Inch Chain:*

Total Weight: 77 links * 0.4 grams/link = 30.8 grams

Geometry:

Type: Solid, Non-manifold (for 3D printing and casting)Form: Interlocking rings with smooth, rounded surfaces.Accuracy: High precision modeling to ensure accurate reproduction of dimensions.Detail Level: Medium-high detail, suitable for close-up renders and physical production.

3D Printing:Recommended Printing Technology: SLA (Stereolithography), DLP (Digital Light Processing), or similar high-resolution resin printing.Support Structures: May require support structures for optimal printing, depending on orientation.Material: Castable resin or wax filament recommended for direct casting.Lost-Wax Casting:Wax Pattern: The 3D printed model can be used as a wax pattern for investment casting.Material: Suitable for casting in various precious metals (gold, silver, platinum).

Notes:

Scaling: The model can be scaled proportionally to adjust the dimensions as needed.Customization: The design can be modified to create variations in size, shape, and style.Weight Accuracy: The weight is an estimate based on the assumed material and density. Actual weight may vary depending on the chosen material and manufacturing process.
