Summary

The Orb Chess set was inspired by the negative space of the Classic Staunton Pawn. It also drew from that aspect to turn "hidden" weights inside out and instead showcase them in a way that informed the design. Then I attempted to breathe some character into the features of the head while also rooting it in the classic recognizable style. The shape of the weights was inspired by the world-wide aspect of chess. In this design, ball bearings of various sizes are used.

This is a very heavy set upon completion with the added weights- nearly 6 lbs total! The king is just over 4.25" High and weighs 175g with the suggested weight if printed solid (42g unweighted).

The size of ball bearings required for one set:
3/4" x 16 for Pawns.

There are 2 other versions available: 1 without any weight cut-outs at all, and another with an internal cavity to weight it with sand and glue or lead shot.

I will be adding a chess board stl (shown in renders), as well as a multi-part case for the pieces. I will also be uploading pics once I've finished printing!

An alternate to the chessboard that has been trimmed down and sized appropriately for small scale printers is available here:

Added an Alternate Knight (R03) for those that like something a little more traditional!
