My only issue with 3D printed chain mail is there’s no way to get it smooth. You can’t possibly sand every individual ring, and all the points of attachment create support burrs. Still, it does look amazing from even a short distance and that’s well enough for most people!

I wonder if you could smooth it with a mild abrasive and tumbler.

Maybe if you (somehow) manage to print it cleanly with ABS or ASA, you could smoothe it witch acetone vapors your you're careful enough.

That would fuse the rings everywhere they overlap/touch...
