V Inlay Chess Set

Post by Dave H. »

I've been wanting to make a Chess / Draughts (checkers) for ages, finally got to & this is my Twisted Chess Set.
I'm open to constructive criticism, there where a couple of errors but put them right as best I could.
I printed the white pieces a couple of hours ago, I'll print the black tomorrow.
410mm x 410mm x 35mm
I really enjoyed making this, I'm going to have to make or buy a press, I do like the idea of a vacuum bag press. if anyone has used 1 or made one, how good is it?

Curious? Are those chess pieces 3D printed? They look really good. Maybe a resin printer? I have had a resin printer for a few months and have yet to give it a go.

Yes, 3d printed , I got a Bambu Lab A1 about a month ago and used Bambu Matte PLA filament.
I upgraded from a Creality CR10 I bought about 7 / 8 years ago, omg how things have moved on, the quality of print and the speed is amazing.

I hear you! Started with a Creality Ender 3 about 5 years ago. Am now running a Bambu X1C and 2 A1 Minis. Gave the Ender to a young guy over at the hardware store. Have printed all sorts of useful things for the shop and around the house.

Remember the old Star Trek days?

We're almost there! :)
I first saw 3D printing at a CAD show in 2003 I think and it completely blew my head away.
Now all the school kids have them.
Amazing tools. :wink:
