Chess Cheese: Emilie and Claude-8's Appetizer

From the book LEO the Maker Prince: http://www.leothemakerprince.com http://www.amazon.com/LEO-Maker-Prince-Journeys-Printing/dp/1457183145 LEO's robot friend Claude-8 worked with a chef named Emilie to create a special dish that's a chess set made of 3D printed cheese. Carla and her team collaborated with Cornell University's Creative Machines Lab to develop forms that would work best with a food printer.

Chess pieces are solid and "2.5D" (not overhangs) so that they print in FDM cheese without sagging.

Instructions

These files can be printed with a very sparse fill to save on material.

You'll need the following quantities to make one complete set in one color: (6) pawn (2) rooke (2) bishop (2) knight (1) king (1) queen

...or print the chess_set_complete file to have all the pieces.

Claude-8 is a special robot who can print pieces made out of cheese, but if your printer uses plastic, then you won't be able to eat these pieces at home!
