1/24/23 Added a version of the King with no built in support.

An update on my Organic chess with new proportions to add mass to standard size pieces. 

This chess set draws inspiration from classical Staunton style pieces but redesigned into forms that can only be rendered through 3-d printing. The result are unique pieces that are instantly recognizable but lovely to behold.

I have uploaded the most current iteration of the queen, not the same as the one shown in the group photos.

I have scaled the files to fit a 12"x12" board and better align with FIDE rules (see dimensions below).  As noted above the pieces in this version are wider than the original design to give each piece more weight.  Also, there are changes to the Knight's ears to improve durability.

Height Metric  Inches
Pawn       49 mm    1.9"
Bishop     72 mm    2.83"
Knight     60 mm    2.36"
Rook        60 mm    2.36"
King         92 mm    3.6"
Queen     84 mm    3.3"

 Also, included with this set is a new tray to hold one color set of the printed pieces.
