As an ardent fan, or steampunk, and a long-time chess player, it's no surprise that this is my very first concept and what made me start with 3D printing.
A beautiful, special and lovingly crafted collection of chesses. The steampunk chess pieces are made from steel and brass to look like mechanical monsters.
The pawn wears a hazmat suite and goggles, the knight is an oil pump brought to life, the officer is a moustached law enforcer and the rook is a threatening machine gun tower.
That set is unique to the queen and king. The King is a clock tower in Big Ben form and the Queen is a juggernaut with spiked cog wheels and barbs.
It's an absolute delight to play this set of steampunk chess.
Techniques:
3D Printed in black PLA filament on the Ender 3.
Rough finish for this look of extra old steampunk / dieselpunk chess.
Sealed with varnish mist.
The frame is 13 sq centimetres,
Pieces vary in size from 3 "to 2" wide.
