Sleek Chess Set (No Supports)
thingiverse
As a milestone to mark my journey, I embarked on designing my own chess set from scratch. My goal was to create something that didn't need any additional supports. I delved into researching piece proportions, starting with this article: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/a-system-for-sizing-chess-pieces-and-boards-long Using an Excel table (attached), I established my heights and bases based on the article's guidelines and relative to FIDE ratios. The pieces were designed parametrically in Inventor, with all IPT files included. I even added a logo at their base. STL files with and without the logo are available for download. I hope you find this information helpful.
