📄 Description:
This full 3D-printable chess set is inspired by the classic Staunton style and complies with official FIDE tournament dimensions (king height: 95 mm).
The design refreshes the traditional look with cleaner lines and an ergonomic knight, requiring minimal supports.
♟️ About the set:
As a chess player and enthusiast, I wanted to create a set that truly reflects my personal taste.
Each piece was designed with the goal of making the playing experience pleasing and satisfying, both to move and to look at.
I aimed to create pieces that feel great in the hand, are well-balanced, and have a strong presence on the board — modernized, yet faithful to the Staunton style.
✅ Main Features:
- Tournament-ready design – FIDE compliant
- King height: 95 mm
- Full set including double queens (extra queens not counted in total weight)
- Optimized for minimal supports
- Designed for optional internal weighting (~1100 g for 32 main pieces)
🧱 Optional Internal Weighting (Recommended):
To achieve a realistic total weight of around 1100 grams, you can insert metal hex nuts into each piece during or after printing.
Suggested configuration:
| Piece | Nuts | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Pawn | 1× M12 | ~25 g |
| Bishop | 1× M12 + 1× M8 | ~37 g |
| Rook | 1× M12 + 1× M8 | ~37 g |
| Knight | 2× M12 | ~52 g |
| Queen | 2× M12 | ~52 g |
| King | 2× M12 | ~56 g |
You will need:
- 44× M12 nuts
- 8× M8 nuts
Before gluing, it is recommended to screw in the caps. Use silicone or PLA glue to fix them inside.
🔧 Tip:
Attach green felt pads to the base of each piece for a professional look and smooth, quiet movement on the board.
