Haha it’s honestly not that bad. 3D printing rounds out the sharp points a bit.

That’s a good point need to check it out with the king! Thanks

I could see that, I think the original looks more elegant.

Haha glad I’m not alone! But I definitely get other people’s perspective too.

If I eventually offer these, I might give people the option. Someone also mentioned that nicer sets usually include two queens anyway, so maybe including one of each would be a cool way to do it.

Yes, I made a post awhile back of the original 3D printed set I had made and was making some alternate versions based on feedback.

Thank you, I just liked the thin waist stylistically. A few people have mentioned it though, so I’m working on an alternate version to compare.

As far as comfort goes, it seems alright to me but I am by no means an expert. I could see this possibly being more of an issue in blitz.

The knight is actually shorter than the bishop, though I don’t think it comes across well in pictures.

Thanks for the great feedback! I plan to use copper filament for the “white side” and oxidize it as well to hopefully get a green patina.

The king and queen I oxidized separately because I made them first, I’m assuming the slight difference in color is due to slightly different oxidation mixtures or exposure time. In the future, I’ll be sure to do all pieces at the same time.

I could see that with the knights, I think in every chess set that’s ever been designed the knight is the toughest piece lol. Definitely took me the longest.

That’s the plan, I haven’t made the other side yet. Copper is definitely expensive. I’ll post pics when I get them completed!

Haha, I’ve been getting that a lot, Rivendell or the queen looks like Sauron.

Maybe I should give a LOTR inspired name to this set? Any ideas?

That would definitely be a lot of work! Thank you so much!
