@JaredUPI Yes. Each link must be separate. Interestingly it must be more complicated - there are two links captured within each loop to make a chain. The Lego chain has ends for attaching to other blocks. But how do companies make cheap plastic chain by the foot, presumably in endless lengths? Some kind of a continuous process?
@crashtech2 SolidWorks 2010. Actually the chain would have two other links molded through each link of course, but the principle is the same. Btw, I did this because it baffled me how chain could be molded in one shot, and this is only my guess at how they do it.
Interesting. Do you think they are gating into each individual link?
