Here is a traditional feeling chess set, having been very much based on Dubrovnik, Staunton and Fischer designs. However, it makes a few subtle adjustments.
Overall size ratios are adjusted to be a mix of Dubrovnik's wide bases and Staunton's piece heights. The pawn is slightly enlarged for ease of handling. Sizes and shapes are balanced to hopefully make recognition and handling easier for visually or motor-impaired players (which also happens to make them easier for everyone else).
For V2, I made the base set for a small (50mm square) chessboard so that it could be resized upward without risk of feature-loss as can happen when scaling down. I will put pre-sized pieces here for a few sizes, but you can easily create exact custom sizes by scaling in your slicer. For example, to get giant pieces for a chessboard with 80mm squares, you would simply bring all the 50mm square sized pieces into your slicer, select them all and then scale by 80/50ths (8/5ths or 1.6) before slicing and printing.
This stands alone as a set of chess pieces. But was originally created as a companion for the GridLink Chess, 60mm Squares, FIDE Compliant Chessboard. The large pieces require about 250g of filament per side for the hollow version, using a fairly sturdy structural print profile and assuming one extra queen.
In the earliest origins of chess, the piece that is now a Bishop was an elephant. The slanted slot of a common Bishop chess piece is the merger of that original elephant and a Bishop's mitre (hat). I've removed the vestiges of elephant, making the Bishop, Queen and King heads symbolically similar to actual headgear from the same Baroque period in English history.
All parts of this are my own design, except the Knight's head which is cut and modified under a zero-restrictions license. Thanks Martin Sotelo for the horse head!
SUPPORTS AND SUPPORT REMOVAL
Only the Knight and King will require supports. And the supports generated for the Knight should pop off fairly easily. For the King, the best tool I have found for all sorts of support removal cases like this, is the 4th pick over from the tweezers in this soldering pick set: https://amzn.to/4hLgyby
That pick (or something thin like it) can pop the supports under the cross off fairly easily by just pressing sideways on the little support there. For under the crown loops, they may all be connected by a thin ring around the top. Poke that pick or some sharp point tweezers under that ring and break it. That will let you push the rest of the supports out from the side.
