Instructions
Please see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_chessmen for more info.
I have made two different knights, one that most represents the original shown in the picture but adjusted for support-less printing and the other to comply with the competition rules regarding maximum dimensions.
I think they both look OK and reasonably represent the original style.

Hi,
not to diss your Amsterdam set, but of your chess sets for the contest i thought these were really much more impressive.
As you said (in the instructions above) they do (`more than`) reasonably represent the original style.
my point being that if i was choosing one of your sets as honorably mention, these would have definitely been my choice.

Had incredibly hard time printing this. Turns out one of the pieces is not level with all the others resulting in blank spot in the print and then stringers all over the place. Unfortunately I was unable to edit the stl to achieve the result I needed to print.
I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with this, TinkerCAD was in its early days and some of the STLs were a little patchy back then. You should have tried re-exporting it from TinkerCAD.
I'll upload the individual items and the full set, reset to the platform, if you fancy another try ;-)
