Castle Monument Surface Design: Final Engraving: Reverse Engineer Object: Chess Pieces:

 Due to my personal health issues and my packed scheduling, I will have to update this post once I finally get to my appointment with a prusa mini! Here are my final renders of my design on a chess board, as well as in a rendered view showing its full form! I chose to go for the smaller size of boxes making the squares on 1.95 inches by 1.95 inches. Whish me luck on the 3D printing, may I or others NOT break a printer! 3D Print

When I first got started on this project I had decided to make a whimsical themed set. I first thought about how a chess board is a king's court. And then it was to figure out the most pretentious thing about royalty I could think of. This led to my thought on excessive and useless tableware! 5 forks, 12 spoons, 15 knives, you name it, so I came up with initial selections based on the actual uses of each piece on a chess board.  The king would be a :"fish fork" which is just a fork with 2 pikes instead of 3 or 4. Useless, just like the king in the game.  The queen would be a steak knife as she cuts through the board like crazy. The knight does some strange movements in the game making it a weird utensil, I chose the spork. The bishop is a bit useless and it used more as a last resort, thus a desert spoon works well as it is used at the end of a meal only. The rook is more useful, making it a great fit as a dinner spoon. The pawns always go first, thus I felt the mini fork...
