Steampunk Robot Chess Set, 3D Printed Toys

Design preview. Rendered from the file, not a photo.
This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Reinforced neck and chimney details print reliably so your pieces stay intact through many games
- Scaled-up pieces match standard chess sizes, so you can play real matches without squinting
- Lowered platforms remove difficult overhangs, so your prints finish cleanly on the first try
- Steampunk robot design brings Victorian charm to your game nights and shelf displays
Each piece has gears, vents, and metal flair that makes your games feel like they belong in an airship. The design works right out of the box so you spend less time fixing prints and more time playing.
This version solves the problems that plagued earlier designs. The bishop neck is thicker, the king's chimney won't snap, and the rook stands tall without needing a platform. All pieces scale up to proper chess proportions so your set looks finished and feels balanced in your hands. The file comes pre-arranged on a plate, ready to send to your printer.
Print your pieces on demand and customize them however you like. Paint them, display them, or play with them straight off the build plate. You own the design once you have the file.

What it is made of

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
