Description
Introducing the Shield-style Chess Set, where tradition meets innovation. This unique set reimagines the classic knight as a shield, adding a modern and functional twist. Reward-Ready Knights!
The knight piece is designed with a slot, allowing you to insert a note, making it a perfect reward when captured. The hollow interior is also ideal for hiding a piece of candy or any small surprise, adding a fun and interactive element to your games.
Every piece in this set has been carefully crafted in Rhino, with draft angle analysis ensuring optimal printability without compromising on elegance. Inspired by timeless chess designs, this set brings a fresh perspective to the board. Additionally, an alternative bishop design has been included based on user requests as well as a traditional horse-shaped knight.
Whether you’re a chess enthusiast or looking for a unique, interactive set, this Chess Set promises both playability and a touch of surprise in every game.
The Shield-style Chess Set is available in three sizes, each categorized by king height:
King Height: 58mm
King Height: 85mm
King Height: 95mm
King Height: 98mm (The Original)
To achieve the ideal feel, print with 80%-95% infill in the base. For a more exclusive appearance, consider applying green felt to the pieces. For best results, use variable layer height or, if you’re patient, print with very thin layers (0.1mm or lower). Weight estimates are based on 95% infill.
Feel free to print this set for your own use, or incorporate it into renderings and software. Just remember to provide proper attribution.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could like it, mention it on social media with a link, or submit a make. I’d love to see how this set is used.
Your feedback and suggestions are highly valued!
