Chess Piece sizes
Rules for chess pieces to board size:
The base diameter of the king should fall within a range of 68% to 75% of the square size. For example, if you have a 2.25" board (each square is 2.25" x 2.25" or 57.1mm x 57.1mm) then the chess pieces you choose should have a king's base diameter of 2.25 x (0.68) to 2.25 x (0.75) which = 1.53" (38.9mm) to 1.687" (42.9mm) in diameter.
What we are working with:
Chessboard Square Tile - 40mm a side, this means no piece and be wider then 36mm
king - 75mm tall
queen - 70mm tall
bishop - 60mm tall
kinght - 50mm tall
rook - 45mm tall
pawn - 40mm tall
Special pieces - 50-65mm tall
Preparing your chess pieces for printing
1) open Makerware
2) Click on 'Prepare' and "Add File" to import your .STL's to the print bed
3) Use the 'Move' tool to separate the models from each other
* remember any models that are touching will be printed as a single piece
4) Use the 'Scale' too to resize the 3d models to the proper size
a- scale the piece to the proper hight and width. Set the model at the correct hight and adjust for the width if necessary.
5) Use 'Save As' to save your .Thing file to the desktop
6) Change your 'Settings'
Resolution - Low(Faster)
Infill - 8%
# of Shells - 3
Layer Height - .30 mm
7) Export Print File
- Take a screen shot of the Export Info and keep it with your .x3g file. You will hand in both to me.
8) Show Joe your .Thing, .x3g & Export Info screen shot to be approved for printing. Your files should be labeled with your initials and a number ie.. jvs1.thing
