After reading an article online and seeing a few pictures i decided to model my own linkage "chainmail" as similarly as I could to the one NASA produced, excluding the continuing of the rings/torous in the linkage design through the center portions as well as the material (NASA's was metal, most likely produced on an SLS AM machine, whereas this was plastic).
shorter version
~ NASA made something cool so I copied it.
PS, I thought I'd mention this was printed actually made on a RepRap Prusa I3, which wasn't an option on the "printer model" drop down
~ MKII files added-Slightly more flexible-Not as loose
~ MKIII files added-Not yet tested
