Summary

A chess set I've designed at the end of 2017.

It's the first project I have done with my own 3D printer.
I've had fun designing the pieces and finding a form that fits the 3D printing process and isn't too detailed, which allows faster prints.

You can choose to print both or only the cubic/rounder pieces.

Enjoy!

Post-Printing

Post-Printing

            <div><p>The pieces need some cleaning up after printing, and are able to be used directly in a chess game.</p><p>I've printed in PLA.</p><p>ABS could be nicer to have more finishing options.</p></div>

How I Designed This
