These two guys 3D-printed one of the best chess sets we've ever seen

This is possibly one of the best uses of 3D printing we've seen (apart from, like, all the medical miracles, obviously).

Redditor pancuco posted this picture of a chess set his two housemates had made by scanning their own bodies and creating little tiny version of themselves to battle it out on the chess board.

My housemates made chess pieces scanning their own bodies from gaming

It's pretty clever but, as one commenter pointed out, it would have been cool if each model wore a different hat to denote what piece they were.

Either way, brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'playing with yourself'.
