3D printing a chess set :)

Hey Guys - Just wondering if anyone has tried this? Would LOVE to see the results. Imagine a 5" King Drueke vintage #38 or vintage Chavet set in marble swirl resin 

Great Thanks 

Interesting. A little too minimalist for me. 

Ron, understood. I love the minimalist design. For me, it captures the essence of the Staunton design.  The S.2 version is less minimalist.  But you asked whether anyone had done it. 

There's a rather famous case of the guys who 3D copied Marcel Duchamp's set, and got into a big IP dispute. They ended up adding mustaches to the design.

Some pictures of the BCE printing from Jonas's website...

It's off topic, but since Ron raised the question of minimalist design, there are a couple pics of the BCE Stage 2 design, which is less minimalist.

I bought a 3D printed set from Joseph Larson.

The plastic is not good but the price was incredibly cheap and I bought it for the unique design hearkening back to transformer toys from my youth.

I expect sets printed in better mediums would be a pricier.

I don't know why pictures from my website no longer display on this site. The image I tried to post is http://www.tykroll.com/chess/staunton/chessbot/bot31.JPG 

I don't think he ever sold them. And he appears to be on a long term sabbatical from everything chess beyond the occasional blitz game.
