This is a chess set that can be printed out on a 3D printer. (all are tested on a CupCake CNC)

Blender plugin that slices an stl model and generates gcode for CNC machines. This plugin doesn't slices the model itself, instead it uses the capabilities of Slic3r, a 3D printer slicer and adapts the gcode for CNC Machines.
