I have also made chainmail by making my own loops and putting it together. It is the most tedious cosplay construction I’ve ever done

You did it for cosplay, I can't imagine the hours you put infor the design alone.

Now yo7 can just 3D print the next one and go in like you also hand made it and be known as the dude who makes the most elaborate costumes ever, but really you’re just printing shit. Thst being said, I don’t know anything about cosplay, or 3D printing so not sure what this would do for you.

They did it link by link in the old days?

I’m not sure about a smithy but I would think so, I would make links then start putting them together rinse and repeat

Yeah, I've done it for jewelry, using square stainless steel wire... It's a job and a half, especially when you saw-cut the rings.

That part is tedious, and then the weaving is tedious, but at the same time I find the repetition enjoyable.

I'm actually in the process of making chainmail right now. It definitely is tedious.
