I recently got back into playing chess, and that combined with Fusion 360 and an Ender 3 Pro lead to the creation of this set. This took me a few days to finish, each piece taking under an hour, pawns taking around 35 minutes (I recommend printing more than one at a time) and knights taking roughly an hour. Surprisingly, none of the pieces needed supports except for the knights. Feel free to scale up the set if you need to. Looking back on this (my first ever project) I regret not printing at a better resolution, I would recommend reducing the layer height for a cleaner result. I've included three different square designs which you can mix and match like I did.

Just glue all the chess squares together, pretty simple
