Purpose
I designed these ~22mm bases to stabilize Robbert Bakker's fabulous Chessmen in Spiral Vase Mode.
Supplies
- 6 grams of white filament
- 6 grams of black filament
- 36 pennies
Process
- Print sequentially in spiral vase mode, with 0.6mm of solid bottom layers and external perimeter extrusion width of 1.2mm.
- Glue three pennies inside the queen's base (the tallest one). Glue the queen to the center of the top penny.
- Glue three pennies inside the king's base (the second-tallest one). Glue the king to the center of the top penny.
- Glue two pennies inside each of the remaining bases. Glue one courtier (bishop, knight, or rook) to the center of each top penny.
- Repeat for the opposing army of chessmen.
