Organic Chess Set

I have scaled the files to fit a 12"x12" board (see dimensions below). Some users report that the weight is low when printed at the original scale. I have started printing a set at 120% height and 140% X&Y and find that these proportions have a very satisfying look and weight. The pieces can be scaled up or down as needed. The black and white individual pieces shown in the photos are printed at 200% scale. Enlarging the pieces brings out detail but significantly increases print time. This chess set draws inspiration from classical Staunton style pieces but redesigned into forms that can only be rendered through 3-d printing. This set includes the most current iteration of the queen. This model incorporates printability and aesthetic improvements over the one shown in the group photos. Even if you don't have time or filament to prints full set, the pieces have overhangs and other features that make for great bench tests. Please remember to "Like" and if you print a set or even individual pieces please post photos of your prints. Enjoy and keep your filament dry.

Check out his video for a cool approach to making a chess board with the assist of a laser cutter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-bWnqg_fTk
