We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A full chess set styled on ancient Egyptian themes, with pieces depicting figures associated with pharaonic culture. Each piece sits on a separate column pedestal base, allowing the bases and pieces to be printed in different colours or materials for visual contrast. The two-part construction eliminates the need for supports during printing. PLA or PETG work well for chess sets of this kind, and printing the bases in a contrasting colour to the pieces produces a clean, readable result.

Original maker's notes

By Doctor_H on Thingiverse · CC-BY

Modified an Egyptian chess set found on Thingiverse by cutting off existing bases. Made my own pedestal base design on Tinkercad, then glued all the pieces together. Doing so allows for easily choosing different colors or materials for bases and pieces. Making the base an assembly meant no overhangs/supports were needed, and edges came out nice and clean. After scaling to 125% in my slicer, the hole in the bottom of the pedestal base is the perfect size for a stack of nickels for added weight. I also scaled the chess pieces to 125% in my slicer to match the base dimensions and my chess board square size, but you can use scaling of both base and pieces to fit whatever board you'll be using them on.
2/15/2020: Added a remix that includes 'Undead' pieces (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4164916)
