Hello Discord. I'm working on a 3D Printing themed chess set and am looking for some feedback. Not about the render. I already know how bad that is. I'd just like some suggestions before I go out an print all the many pieces. Thank you!

i have some concerns for printing the rooks, the corners of the fans would droop a ton

Yes I agree. I figured supports could be used, but if you have a suggestion on what to use instead I’d be happy to hear them

Maybe vertical filament spools for the rooks

Ooh I like that idea

Maybe orient the nozzles upward
I did think about it, but it would require supports if I did

That’s true

Got a V2 done. Changed the fan out for a filament spool and switched the rook, bishop, and knight around. Thoughts?

Yeah I might make a an alternate version with that because I agree it would look better. Supports are the problem but that way there would be options

Ok. I will include a version of the pawn in that orientation when I release it on printables

That benchy is going to be hard to print but very cool when finished
