Rory Noble-Turner's 3D-printed Dune chess set suggests simplicity of materials while being the complex product of cutting-edge 3D quartz-printing tech. And I'm not sure I could cope with the ...

Bryan Cera and Scott Kildall let you use a 3D printer to create your own copy of the hand-carved chess set of Marcel Duchamp, inventor of the Readymade.

The set was created for a Tinercad-sponsored contest to design a unique chess set. With Voltron on his side Larson is obviously going to win, and will take home a MakerBot to bring his creation to ...

Although usually a chess set like this would be one of a kind, the designer uploaded the entire set onto Thingiverse so that anyone with a 3D printer can replicate the set.
