>>40174947I had this exact same idea earlier this year. I'm not sure why I haven't done it yet since I own a printer and have made a few non-Pokemon chess sets already.
>>40177863I wanted to make a dark-type set with:
>King: Pangoro>Queen: Tyranitar>Bishop: Bisharp>Knight: Zoroark or Houndoom>Rook: Sableye>Pawn: PawniardHaving Zorua and Zoroark take the places of Pawniard and Bisharp would also work.
>>40178374I'm not OP but 3D printing something that small would cost a few cents depending on infill % (how much of the inside is plastic vs air).
Pic related is a Tyranitar I printed. It was too big for chess, so I never bothered gluing the arms on. Keep in mind that there are a lot of Pokemon that aren't easy to find already posed, so you would ideally download from here:
