Chessmen 3D Printing [WIP]

Last year I posted some designs for chess pieces inspired by the Isle of Lewis chessmen. Last week I received my Form 1 3D printer and was finally able to start creating tangible pieces. I'm having an absolute blast with this whole process.

Here are some pics of Chessmen v 0.1. The pieces haven't been sanded or cleaned up yet since I am still prototyping the designs. I removed the supports and put them in an alcohol bath to wash away the uncured resin and that's it so there are still lots of visible artifacts left over from the supports.

Here's the knight before removing the supports.




 The king was a failed print. He is supposed to be holding a scepter but I didn't have any supports in that area so the piece fractured. This piece is 4'' tall.


After seeing them all together, there are several changes I will make, mostly proportional adjustments such as the Bishop being too big and the Queen too small etc. I'm also going to redesign the Pawn and stand the Knight up a bit more as it is encroaching on the adjacent squares at the moment.

    You require a new printer but you do not know whether to buy an inkjet or a laser printer, as you are not aware of the differences between the two.cheap 3d printer

    This process is cost effective when used for printing large quantities. Digital printing is a newer printing method which reproduces images onto the page.https://medijo.lt

    However, it is also difficult to overlook the complete lack of originality on display in the film, so The Hangover, Part II proves a mixed bag, and one that receives a mild recommendation from me. 3d print jakarta

    Computerized printing is a cutting edge printing strategy that produces prints legitimately from a PC record as opposed to a slide or a photo, without experiencing some transitional medium, for example, a film negative, a shading evidence or a plate. https://www.printmoz.com/roll-up-banner
