PDF

I remixed Devanopolis' wonderful Chess set to incorporate a hidden magnet holder (bottom cup).  I extended the bottom of each piece to allow for a threaded insert in the bottom.  The Bottom Cup will hold a standard size 12mm magnet (possibly 2).  This will allow for it to stay better on a magnetic chess board, as well it adds some additional weight to the pieces.  

The bottom cup is designed to accept a large flat head screwdriver to assist with installation. The cup also has a small hole in case you need to extract the magnet.  Simply push in a small paper clip to release the magnet from the holder. The cup with magnet should screw in flush with the bottom of each piece or slightly recessed.

Quantity

  • 8 Pawns per color (16 total)
  • 16 Bottom Cups per color (32 total)
  • 2 each of Rook, Knight, Bishop per color
  • 1 each of King, Queen per color

Print instructions

  • 0.2 mm layer height
  • Infill 20% (for additional weight only)
  • Large Brim to keep the pieces in place while printing
  • No supports (however the Knight could use them)

Additional Notes
This is my first post, please let me know how i did. More photos to come as soon as i finish printing a full set.
