I want know more about Nishapur chess

I see some image about  Nishapur chess,i was very intersting about that Geometric design,so I want know more about the story, dimensions and design ideas behind each piece.I would like to try to make a set of such pieces with a 3D printer, and I need to get the three-dimensional size of this piece

The Met cites the dimensions of the largest and smallest. You are unlikely to find better information, unless maybe there is more detail in one of the references or perhaps you can convince someone at the Met to measure them for you. That would likely require a serious donation. You should be able to interpolate and estimate from the photo to generate reasonable facsimiles. See the references for history, etc. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/452204

Thank you.It seems that only guess the size of the nishapur by the pictures, is there any information to explain why the rook is two triangles? I'm interested for it

The book by Deborah Freeman Fahid in the Met's references looks like it might be the best source for explanations. If you do create a reproduction, please share here.

After I recently taught myself how to model, I used 3D printing to create this chess pieces. The queen and king of this set of pieces are so similar that I make some different.What could be improved? FDM has a lot of lamination, and I think it needs to be processed later.

A holy grail of chess history guessed and printed. The original is one of my favourite sets and I always wondered if a reproduction in stone has been attempted. Your try in 3D is not bad at all! Thank you for sharing. Your rooks are bigger, your pawns are smaller and simpler, and you let go off the flatness on top of bishop and knight, right? In my opinion, you can't change the queen (or vizier/minister) design just for convenience. While king and queen were done sufficiently different in size and form by the artist, there is a touch of blindfold to the original design, and that should be preserved.

Thanks for posting!

Try enabling "ironing" in the slicer. Make sure you use a fine nozzle and use the finest layer height you can. Some filaments can be vapor smoothed.

The Rook or castle has two triangles to represent the turret
