// FIDE Standards have some flexibility // https://www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/Standards_of_Chess_Equipment_and_tournament_venue.pdf // FIDE Handbook C.02.2.2 Height,weight,proportions // - King – 9.5 cm, // - Queen – 8.5 cm, // - Bishop – 7 cm, // - Knight – 6 cm, // - Rook – 5.5 cm and // - Pawn – 5 cm. // - The diameter of the piece's base should measure 40- 50% of its height. // - These dimensions may differ up to 10% from the above recommendation, // - but the order (e.g. King is higher than Queen etc.) must be kept. // We are going to transgress C.02.2.3 // FIDE Handbook C.02.3.2 Size of the square and the board // - The side of the square should measure 5 to 6 cm. // - Referring to 2.2 the side of a square should be at least twice the diameter of a pawn’s base (it means four paws on one square). $fn = 8; total_height = 5.5; base_diameter = total_height / 2; base_radius = base_diameter / 2; // How is the base height dependent on piece height? base_height = 1; // The rook has a wider stem stem_radius = base_radius / 2; stem_base_radius = base_radius * (3/4); // I like several different low poly designs for the castle ridges // I like the ridge going over the corner // I also like the simplicity of every other face having a ridge head_radius = 1; head_height = 1; stem_height = total_height - base_height - (head_height / 2); // ridge_offset will set the ridges to go over the corners ridge_offset_check = 0; ridge_offset = ridge_offset_check * ((360/$fn)/2); cylinder(base_height/2, r = base_radius); translate([0, 0, base_height/2]) cylinder(base_height/2, base_radius, stem_base_radius); translate([0, 0, base_height]) cylinder(stem_height, stem_base_radius, stem_radius); difference() { translate([0, 0, total_height - head_height]) cylinder(head_height, r = head_radius); translate([0, 0, total_height - (head_height/4)]) { cylinder(head_height, r = head_radius * 0.75); // this rotation will work for $fn = 8 or 6 for (i = [0:(($fn/2)-1)]) { rotate([0, 0, (i * (360/($fn/2))) - ridge_offset]) rotate_extrude(angle = 360/$fn) square([head_radius + 0.25, head_height]); } } }
