Instructions
instructions are
Pretty much the same as for original thing..
The difference is that here is one only kind of pawn and that arm could be assembled in different ways..
For one color set you need to print:
one king and one queen,
three pairs of bishops, knights and rooks,
and eight pawns..
I've added a helmet to the bot.. it's not a chess figure, but it makes the bot complete

I see a photo on Cymon's page https://tinkercad.com/things/0...
that s
hows a much more raw print. I'm new to 3D printing so I'd like to know if the finish difference is among printers or do you have to sand and buff after?
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for kind words :)
I do have an access to stratasys dimension elite printer, and yes, this machine provides better surface finish than most of printers in possesion of Thingiverse users. Elite is good, but I'm thinking about bying a makerbot or another open source printer. Stratasys cartridges are very costly, and t
