Thanks, but was hoping to get the colors for the board as well.
I've designed my own chess sets that I sell online.
Although I'm playing with different board styles, I like to find new color combinations.
And I love the colors you are using.

It is a Flex Pad board from chess house. The colour is called Peru. https://www.chesshouse.com/products/flex-pad-club-chess-board?_pos=1&_psq=flex&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=34089761345

3D printing excites me for the ability to play with colour combinations and different sizes (but I really want something optimized for a 35 mm square).

I'd love to see links of what you're doing.

My boards are a bit different, easy to store and travel with:

Hi guys!
Loot Studios just launched an incredible 3D chess set — and there’s a special promotion for those who get it before November 4.
Here’s the link: https://lootstudios.com/standalone/epic-fantasy-chess .
I got mine, and honestly, I’ve never seen a chess set with this level of detail before.

It is a nice gothic type 3D chess but the main problem is they are not weighted and are too light. If they add weight to the chessmen it would be perfect!

You add as much weight as you like because you are printing your own pieces. You're just purchasing STL files. It's up to you how light they are.

"Do you sell printed miniatures?
 No. Loot Studios sell only the 3D files, you must print them yourself."

Even if they are printed with 100% infill, they will not be that heavy.
But if you have/make space inside, you could pause the printer to insert, o'rings, to add some weight.

Yep, there are lots of options from sand to tungsten putty. I added sand to the pieces in my avatar.
