I took Justin's excellent Staunton style chess set and made it parametric. You can resize it, add magnets to the bottom, or make half pieces for use on a whiteboard.
You'll also need to unzip profiles.zip into a subdirectory (profiles) to enable rendering the scad files.
edit defaults.scad and re-render each of the pieces. The default king size is 88 mm (about 3.5" ) and the scaling is done in terms of king height. For example if you wanted a 2" king (and other pieces relative to that:
King_Height = 2 *inches;
you can also adjust the magnet diameter and depth. Add a little slop (depending on your printer) to make them easy to insert. If you want to glue them in afterwards, set DEFAULT_BOTTOM_OFFSET to 0, but if you want one layer of plastic set it to your layer height.
If you copy defaults_full.scad to defaults scad, you will get full size pieces with a 10x2 magnet recess.
if you copy defaults_half.scad to defaults.scad you will get half pieces (lifted and padded a bit) with 2 6x2mm magnet recesses (the pawns only have 1 magnet)
The author remixed this model.
