Hi Steve,

   I eyeballed the chain links against some other lego parts, and calculated the link-pitch of the chain, and came up with 20x11x3 as the overall dimensions (in LDU) for each link. The diameter of the tube for each link is 3LDU. Can someone (maybe someone with calipers) double-check that those figures are reasonably accurate? If I’m wrong by more than ~.5LDU, I’ll go back and correct my corrections.

Your eyeballs are quite precise! I measured a link at 8 x 4.6 x 1.2mm, translating to 20 x 11.5 x 3 LDU...

  Minifig Chain Updated
 
I just posted an update to the minifig chain (part 208c01.dat) to the Parts Tracker. The official file three problems: it was too long overall, there were too many links, and each link was too small. (URL) Compare: [LDrawPart 208c01:7] Current (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
