Bauhaus Chess Set Replica by Josef Hartwig 1923

Here's an abstract of a digital manufacturing lesson I've created for 12-13 year olds (Junior High School) who are just starting to learn about 3D printing. You can download the PDF lesson, "chesssetlesson.pdf," which includes detailed dimensions for each chess piece. To access it, visit THING FILES. The lesson requires students to draw each piece using Sketchup software, convert them into .stl files, and then print them in 3D. After completing this task, they'll be able to design a container for their newly printed chess set. Each piece is an exact replica of the Bauhaus Chess Set by Josef Hartwig, designed in 1923. The reduced forms feature shapes like cubes, cylinders, and balls, with each piece's design clearly indicating its intended movement.
