I often have the opposite problem when it comes to size. I design small things, and spend so much time zoomed way in to the objects on screen in FreeCAD that when I actually machine or print them, they seem so much smaller than I was thinking…
Great timing. I did a small photo shoot with the chess set this morning.
I also have no room for the board. I have to figure out where to put it. The pawns are 5", main pieces 6", and king and queen are 7" tall. The board was sized for the pieces.
Great chess pieces. Some time ago I had an Idea for a Chess board. Perhaps it would solve your storage problem: Cut the board into four buy some readily available powerful button magnets drill the edges of your board a nice tight fit, and super glue the magnets into the holes. If you drill the holes accurately you board will be perfectly flat when you put it together. When dismantling, even though the magnets will have a powerful hold, it will easily be broken by holding one piece flat on the table and lift in the adjoining piece. Good luck. Regards. Alan Newhouse
