These elegant chess pieces will liven up any chess set. Each piece depicts a bird in a cage with the cage forming the shape of the traditional chess pieces, making this set functional as well as elegant. The knight is a horned owl, the queen is a toucan, bishop is a cardinal, knight is a cockatiel, rook is a rook, and the pawns are canaries. These pieces were designed to print on home 3D printers without support. So not only is this an interesting piece d'arte but it's also a test of your home 3D printer and a way to show off the interesting, intricately woven designs a 3D printer can do..
