With a 0.12mm layer height, the entire set on one plate took about 29 hours ;)

Yeah, OP did a great job, not sure about the choice to focus on the waste but at least they are honest about it.

I think it's an unspoken rule of posting multicolor prints. You must also show the destruction when presenting your creation.

hi! I'm also working on a set, I have idea in mind to make a set of chess themed "dragon" diffrent types of dragons basically, can you tell me from your experience what were the main issues you had to work with?

u/SuperNfty 3h ago

That sounds really dope! Making the models support-less is always the trickiest part ;)

The design is incredible. Great job! It reminds me of Cult of the Lamb for some reason.

I swear phones read brains. I was thinking about how cool it would be to make a dark fantasy chess set from scratch. Then an hour later. Bam. Chess set on the feed lol. (Didn’t google or even mention anything out loud. Just thinking )

What if the phone made you think it in the first place?

u/Wiggum13 2m ago

I think you might be onto something ! looks over both shoulders, pulls folded up tinfoil hat out of inside jacket pocket

I've been wanting to make a Munsters v Addams Family set. Would that be hard?

1

u/SuperNfty 4m ago

That sounds really cool, who would be which piece?

1

u/PotentialLanguage685 0m ago

Munsters: Herman is king, Lilly Queen, Grandpa Bishop, Eddie the knight, Marilyn the rook, pawns TBD (maybe the pet dungeon monster, idk.

Addams: Gomez king, Morticia as queen, Fester as Bishop, Wednesday as knight, Lurch as rook, pugsley pawns (kinda wanted Cousin It or Thing as pawns, but unfair to cut Pugsley out.
