I'm using ABS like you and would really appreciate it if you shared your settings so that I may be able to achieve better print quality. I've made a post about my plans in the introductory forum.

Thanks,
André.

Very nice. Have you been invited to the Solidoodles beta yet? I'm sure this would good up there (although our multiple model uploading scheme isn't finished yet.)

No I haven't.  What specifically are you talking about?

It's been a while since I've done some fun models.  Lately it seems I've only been printing printer or accessory parts, so it was time do do something fun.

I'm a big fan of the Despicable Me minions, so when I recently found a chess set, I just had to give it a shot.  This is still a work in progress, so far I printed the parts you see here.  They're printed in orange ABS, and they haven't been finished as yet.  Some of these were printed in pieces, then glued together.  The remaining 4 pawns are being printed as I'm posting this.

Next up the same parts will be printed in blue ABS.  I wanted to print them in purple, but the purple filament I have is closer to magenta than purple, so the blue will look better.  I also modeled a board made of interlocking pieces.

I'm sorry I thought this was the king?

Good job, the kings hand looks tricky....

Are you referring to this, perhaps?

That's the Queen, and she's holding a banana (seems to be the theme throughout doesn't it?)

All the orange play pieces have been printed and about half of the orange board squares.  Once all the orange squares are printed I'm switching to the blue filament and starting over again.
