Description

I handmade a chess set about 30 years ago based on my cartoon character called 'little chappy'. I cast two sets using silicone moulds. One set was stolen, the other I re-inherited from my father...and then the dog ate half the pieces!. So 3D scanning and 3D printing was required. I needed a (free) scanner so I designed and built one just for this purpose.
(http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1478072). I scanned the chess set pieces and this is the result.
Ive included a photo showing the originals and the 3D scanned/printed versions for comparison. I re-scaled some pieces so they fitted in to the 4cm chess square better..and the King was tallest of course. Enjoy!

EDIT: The queen file was not resized properly so I have resized and uploaded.
