Chess set Romans

<p>Chess Set, based on Roman Warriors</p> <p>Found some on thingiverse but was not really what I looked for, .. so I tried to design some myself.<br/> I specifically designed them so that supports are needed, but still the basic shape of the Roman War helmet was recognisable.<br/> Thought about adding the pilum .. but that would become a very fine and fragile part.</p> <p>Tips and advice will be much appreciated.</p> <p>!! I printed the chess pieces on 80% myself, as they are rather large.</p> <p>Also, thinking about adapting the parts so that a metal nut could be glued into the base of the parts for added stability. ...</p> <p>UPDATE 2018/10/21</p> <p>As requested (by chris262), designed and added a new pawn with PILLUM. Thx m8!!</p> <p>Currently also designed the set with the possibility to add weight at the bottom. More info on this later as I'm testing this atvm.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Chess Summary</h3> <p>Chess Set, based on Roman Warriors</p> <p>Found some on thingiverse but was not really what I looked for, .. so I tried to design some myself.<br/> I specifically designed them so that supports are needed, but still the basic shape of the Roman War helmet was recognisable.<br/> Thought about adding the pilum .. but that would become a very fine and fragile part.</p> <p>Tips and advice will be much appreciated.</p> <p>!!
