Description
This is the first in my series of profiles chess piece designs. I wanted to see what I could take away from the standard stanford pieces and still have them easily recognizable as chess pieces. I also wanted the lines to feel more organic than my past sets. Like my other sets this set is designed to be played, so while design elements are important, it is equally important that they are each distinctive enough in look to be easily recognizable. The pieces are also designed to be easily gripped between two fingers when playing. The King stands just over 4" tall and as 1 3/4" at the base. Print with 2 shells and 18% infill on their sides . Print time runs about 20 hours for a full 32 piece set. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them

This looks like a doable design if it is laid on the side. Also the knight needs to be shortened to fall in line with the sizing schema of chess sets. It should be between the size of the rook and bishop. I will print this as I like novelty and to yank the chains of those who lack the imagination to deal with a alternate style chess set when they play.
