This model is a part of Unique Chess Sets Collection
 

Each model has been optimized for 3D printing, capturing the unique personality and facial features of different breeds:

• King: The majestic Maine Coon (with a crown).
• Queen: The elegant Persian/Longhair (with a crown).
• Rook: The sturdy British Shorthair (with castle battlements).
• Bishop: The sleek Sphynx (tall and slender).
• Knight: The alert Abyssinian/Tabby (proud posture).
• Pawn: The adorable Scottish Fold (compact and round).

Printing Tips:

• Layer Height: 0.12mm or 0.16mm is recommended to capture the fur texture.
• Supports: Minimal supports may be needed for the ears (especially the Maine Coon and Sphynx).
• Material: Works great in PLA, but Resin (SLA) will bring out the finest details.
• Infill: 15% is sufficient, but you can increase it for a heavier, more premium feel.

The models are so detailed that you need to be careful when removing supports for small elements (e.g., hands, fingers). Of course, this problem is significantly minimized when printing at a larger scale. Remember to exercise extreme caution.
