Wow, some of the most arcane chess pieces I've ever seen (your other chess sets rival it). Perfect stuff for Lord of the Rings etc.

Thank you Daniel! Honored to get your approval!
The Knight is yours, pure mandelbulb! It wouldn't have existed without your quest, and not many of the other pieces either actually
Cheers

Epicness comes with an equally epic price (sadly). Maybe if I sell some organs I could afford it -.-

I know... 3D printing is still rather costly.
So, keep your organs for now and wait a while!

Great to hear you feel that need!

Pawns are deformed teapots, rooks look like Big Ben, Β there are traces of rose shapes over some figures...is this British-inspired surrealism?Β

Hehe, I don't think so, I am from Sweden, but maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something here...

Anytime! Thank you Sofya!
Keep an eye out for the individual pieces, I will post one more later today...
(They are 3D printed in the Netherlands btw

They really look cool and different. And why are you printing them in Netherlands? And where?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks again!
If you follow the link www.shapeways.com/designer/MAN⦠you will come to my shop at Shapeways, they have printers in the USA and in Eindhoven (for deliverys in Europe)

Wow, you make really good stuff. Are those all plastic? Or also metal? (I thought you can only 3D-print in plastic...)
π: 0 β©: 1
Shapeways offers printing in a lot of different plastics + Stainless Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum (these are printed in Wax and cast in a lost mold)
You can actually choose to pick up your ordered prints in Eindhoven if you talk to the staff at Shapeways (and maybe go in and take a look at the factory...

Cool. So, technically, if you design the parts separately you could make some things from two different metals and all?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, you can only print one metal per print... but the technique to mix materials is coming!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but I meant that you print two parts separately, from two different metals, and then combine them to one piece physically. Like a puzzle of two pieces.
π: 0 β©: 1
That is definitely possible!
π: 0 β©: 1
Are you going to make one?

You never know...
