A highly-experimental harness: dragonscale weave center, chunky buckles, and scalemail straps! #chainmail #scalemail

The harness on a blue mannequin. The dragonscale core is an elongated hexagonal bullseye of light blue and light green rings. Four chunky black buckles connect to the four wide faces, which then go to silver scalemail straps

Closeup on the dragonscale weave. The green/blue rings are square, wrapped around silver standard rings

The rear of the harness, showing a massive X of euro four-in-one joined together in a complex radial pattern

A shoulder shot, where the scales transition to just chainmail, half-blue and half-green

Dice assembly timelapse! Each die is printed in seven pieces– six face-down faces for a great surface finish, and one core that the faces slide into 🎶: Twin Seeds Flyby by Level 99

A recent gift for a friend themed around 🧧 (depending on your perspective it was either a little late or extremely early) #chainmail

A trio of hexagons made of chainmail in the Japanese 12-in-2 weave. The central one is larger with more gold then the other two, which are hanging above the middle one

Harnesses are super fun projects to customize with different weaves! This commission for Mahk has Japanese 12-in-2 panels for the front and back, with byzantine straps. #chainmail

Mahk posed in front of brick and barbed wire wearing the harness over a black shirt. The 12-in-2 is a hexagonal weave of black rings joined with violet and silver smaller rings. The byzantine is black and silver. Everything is connected to matte black welded rings

An image of Mahk from behind, showing the mirrored back of the harness identical to the front

Here’s my finished mantle! I temporarily added that gear in the center-front, referencing a necklace I used to wear all the time made of 3D-printed gears. #chainmail #scalemail

Fletch from the neck down wearing a black button-down and the mantle. The two shoulders of scales are rainbow in the middle with black all around, topped with a matching rainbow of rings. The corners join to a thin vertical rainbow that holds a large welded ring. Two lengths of rainbow/black chains run in arcs around their waist

The same situation but from behind, with no gear in the center of the welded ring

Throwback to this mega-project: six(!!) dice bags and some matching experimental resin dice! Each bag/dice set was themed around a player character in a D&D campaign, with a big rainbow dice bag for the DM! #chainmail #scalemail #resin #dice #dungeonsanddragons

Here's the outcome of our bonus Ambassador stream, all stages of 3D printing this TUNIC-themed bookmark 🦊 Another huge THANK you to everyone who organized, watched, and donated to our Flame Fatales Ambassador streams! #flamefatales #3dprinting

A black and white screenshot of the bookmark in blender. There are strange tubes that later etch the Holy Cross code into the bookmark

The bookmark in the slicer. It has a Holy Cross code, three Questagons, and a small hexagonal hole at the top

The first layer is partially printed on the textured bed, looking geometric and futuristic

The finished bookmark stood in front of a soft lamp; the gold is glowing from within and the three Questagons are well-lit. There is a small chain attached to the hole
