Modified an Egyptian chess set found on Thingiverse by cutting off existing bases.  Made my own pedestal base design on Tinkercad, then glued all the pieces together.  Doing so allows for easily choosing different colors or materials for bases and pieces.  Making the base an assembly meant no overhangs/supports were needed, and edges came out nice and clean.  If you scale the pedestal bases to 125% in your slicer, then the hole in the bottom is the perfect size for a stack of nickels for added weight.

Post-Printing

Assembled 24 pedestals with superglue. Each piece got a little sanding, and smoothing of any rough edges, then centered and affixed pieces on pedestals, again with superglue.  Each pedestal has a cylindrical hole which was filled with a stack of nickels (also super glued in) for added weighty feel.  Added felt discs to bottom of pieces for soft/smooth contact with chess board.
