By the way, I personally have used makexyz.com for a good number of things when my own printer isn't up to snuff (for any reason). It's a little more expensive with smaller jobs -- I test-uploaded a Queen from my collection, and a single one is $14.90, which is close to Musketeer's price -- but it's much cheaper on a per-piece basis if you have several in one STL file.

(I'm in the process of making a test set with a large group; it's taking a while to compile. I'll let you know the result after it happens.)

Update: I made the mistake before of trying to do a full set from a 48-piece game; that's why it was taking so long. I switched to just a 16-piece orthodox set, and it took only a couple of minutes. The estimate for 16 pieces in one build comes to $77.90 (and I could probably bring that down a tad by arranging the pieces a little more tightly in the layout). That's just under $4.87 per piece.
