Over the years I've learned that in 3D printing it's always best to use the right tool for the job. Can you? Maybe. If you get a .2mm nozzle and want to spend a full day printing with a fully dialed in printer it may be possible. Would it be good for your mental heath? Probably not. A chain link fence in n scale would be a job for resin all the way, imho. I experimented a couple years ago with the resin printer just to see how it would turn out: I was using my laptop screen as a back-light so the background pixels introduced some distortion. They look pretty good though but the see-thru aspect is a challenge since these links have to have some thickness which means they look good head on, but at an angle the thickness starts to block out the background. Still, if I had a scene that needed chain link (I have one planned) then this is the route I'd go. -Mike
Dang it, I was just watching on YouTube some vids about 3d printing, which led to vids about warhammer minis and saw something new that they were using for chain link that looked great...and now I can't find the video. I'll keep looking, but I can't see anything being able to print PLA small enough to work, and since there seems to already be other alternatives, I don't know why you would want to.
