it is a 3d chess set, 5 stories tall, so with the z axis, there is an extra set of movement rules, so the unicorn fills that. i think it can move laterally the same as a rook, but vertically, moves...

actually, i figured out how to do what i wanted. it was more like this

//base
cylinder(5,15,15);
//body
translate([0,0,5])
intersection()
{
cylinder(30,15,15);
translate([0,0,-5])

ok, im having trouble with the knight. i need to make a cone, but with the top point shifted off the center axis of the cylinder. does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

i have been busy, but have finished some of the other pieces, and in doing so, have learned some techniques

hahaha aardvark. i will definitely do that with the more generic things. i was more thinking of logos for the popular things. such as maybe the mockingjay symbol made into a pin or pendant. im sure...

ok, so this is my first attempt at rendering something in a cad program in probably 10 years. i'd love some feedback. it is also my first attempt with this program. if i did not post everything...

how would i go about getting legal permission to produce things like that? try to contact the owner of the rights and get a royalty agreement or something? is there much chance of that working?

thx. i will do that. one more question, and if this should go in a new question in a different section, i can repost it:

as i am planning on eventually going into business selling the things i...

i should be able to do that. can you bevel and trim and curve edges and such?

ty for all the input! i will def try this openscad. i also found another free one. that beta one sounds iffy for me for the moment. i dont want to get roped into having to give feedback while im...

does anyone have any suggestions for free programs that are good for drafting my designs? i would prefer one that is more cad based than graphic design based (i'm sorry if that sounds dumb. i dont...

TY for the quick response. I would love some other opinions, but you did address pretty much all the points that matter to me. I recently purchased a pair of dice from shapeways, but will have to...

I am thinking about getting into 3d printing, possibly using it as a way to express my creativity and merge that into business to sell the things i create for profit. this seems to be a good way to...
