Have junior make a bunch more and sell them for $350 each online. He will have constant work, as much money he desires to make!! ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

That is impressive! Kids lack those kind of skills these days. I might have missed it, but how long did it take from start to finish to do this? Getting shot is no achievement. Hitting your enemy is. NRA Endowment Member . NRA instructor | |||

I finally got around to taking a few photos of the board with the 3D printed chess pieces. I found these files on thingiverse dot com and downloaded them, then I showed him how to 3D print them and did some trouble shooting for him a few times. These are in raw form with the only post-processing being the removal of the support material. I'm not sure if he's going to try the vapor smoothing technique and then paint them or not. As I said earlier he is really much more interested in making a small forge to melt aluminum cans and scrap extruded aluminum to create a lost PLA aluminum casting of the skull pieces has has now. Anyway, I think these are pretty cool and I wish I could remember who did the initial desigh=n because they did an amazing job.    A penny saved is a government oversight. | |||

Is that the queen on D2? (Queen goes on her color!) Bishop on G1? What is that on G8? I don't see a corresponding white piece, unless it's also a bishop with a different design. Year V | |||

From what I can tell from the pictures, White Bishop on D2. White Queen on G1, black appears to have castled(?) and Black Queen is on white G8.

I set the pieces up just to take a photo. I know very VERY little about chess. A penny saved is a government oversight. | |||

He's already had a couple of folks say they'd buy one, price was not discussed however. A penny saved is a government oversight. | |||

Bravo! That is a slick project! If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | |||

That is a sweet looking set there. Maybe this would be a nice summer money maker for him? I would definitely be interested in a set depending on price point. _____________ | |||
