![]() In a traditional chess set, the two sides are differentiated by the use of different colors. Instead, Cano created two completely different sets of dinosaurs, meaning that you’d better remember the difference between a Homalocephalus and a Velociraptor or you’ll wind up moving the wrong pieces! In the case of dinosaurs, such a color opposition was not possible. The board is alive with teeth and tails as the T-Rex and the Stegosaurus which serve as the kings are alternately protected from and threatened by the pawns (Homalocephalus/Velociraptor), knights (Parasaurolophus/Pteranodon), bishops (Gallimimus/Dilophosaurus), and queens (Triceratops/Concavenator). The rooks are made in the image of the gates of the park and each piece stands on a cylindrical base covered with some sort of ground-like material.Īll in all the idea is pretty cool and probably a pretty good way to get some extra paleontological education into an afternoon game of chess. In an interview with, Cano, a native of France and a resident of Tolouse, talked about his introduction to the technology: It’s also an impressive effort when you realize that its creator has only been wading into the waters of 3D printing for the last year. “I discovered the many possibilities of 3D printers one year ago in an association named FabLab who give light formation to use 3D printers. I finally bought my own printer in January, a 3D Up Plus.” As a member of the association now, I learned many techniques during an entire summer, intensive two months. He has plans to create a board to accompany his pieces and if I could make one suggestion for the overall design of the pieces it would be to pay more attention to the labeling. Each piece currently has its position written on the front of the cylindrical base, something which can be very helpful since dinosaurs are similar in color and it can be confusing to try to differentiate between them on the fly. On the other hand, maybe it’s just difficult to write the labels because the pieces keep gnawing on you with their sharp teeth… Unfortunately, the text is sloppy and takes away from the presentation of the pieces.
