About this model
[See also the chess board I designed to go along with these pieces: ] My goal was to design a chess set optimized from the ground up for 3D printing. This meant that it should look amazing on any printer using the most basic of settings, and it shouldn’t require any supports (including for the knight). I furthermore wanted to give it an iconic look that stands out as unique, while simultaneously capturing the essence of the standard modern chess set.
