[UPDATE 10/13/2016: Uploaded cleaner (and smaller!) STL's.]
[UPDATE 10/14/2016: Updated Trump pawn due to head not being adequately secured to the body of the pawn, causing the head to break off fairly easily. New Trump pawn has no such design failure.]

Resolution:

Infill:
0%
Notes:
I print using a .30mm nozzle..., 0% infill, 0 bottom fill layers and 10-12 perimeters (using Simplify3D). This leaves a nice indentation in the bottom of the piece into which I place some some heavy material such as small fishing weights and secure it with glue or epoxy. I then finish the bottom off with a round piece of felt secured with double sided sticky tape. I will upload some pictures of the final product when I get a chance to take a few.
How I Designed This
OpenSCAD!
Everything in this thing was generated using the included 'chess-set-generator.scad'. You can generate your own chess set with your own head by first getting your head as a 3D model. Make your model around 30mm in diameter (or as close as you can get). Next, change the script where it says "headfile="..."" to point to your head STL file. Then select a part to generate by setting the 'part' variable to one of: king, queen, bishop, knight, rook, pawn, pawns, set or board. The script is actually ready for use in the customizer but since you cannot upload STL's it is of limited usefulness there.
