I wanted a sturdy Pokemon chess set (birthday present for 8 year olds) that ressembles a traditional one as close as possible.

I uploaded two versions:

  • All files that start with an underscore "_" contain each figure as a whole.
  • All files starting with "NUTs_M5" contain figures and base parts that hold standard M5 nuts and should be used if you wanted to produce weighted pieces that do not fall over as easily. I printed the bases at 50% infill and the podest/figures with 15% infill.

If your printer is not as perfectly dialed in like my Prusa :), you could either to scale the pieces 2-dimensionally in X and Y or adjust the XY Compensation Settings in Prusa Slic3er for a snug fit of the nuts....

The knight (Mudkip) is the only piece that needs supports enabled.

 

Print Settings

 

Supports:

No (except on the knight/Mudkip)

Resolution: 

0.2

Infill:

15% (figures) and 50% (base)


Notes:

All files except the knight/mudkip print without supports.

Post-Printing:

For a weighted chess set 2 x M5 nuts can be added into the cavities and then the base and figures can be glued (for PLA standard white wood glue works perfectly)
