Biochemistry Chess Set

thingiverse

This is a custom biochemistry-themed chess set created using a combination of models found on Thingiverse. Special thanks go out to aarono, ejo60, and Landru for generously sharing their models with the community! The ATP molecule, sourced from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), was accessed through the Chem3D iPad application. The chess pieces are described as follows: Pawn: Represented by the molecular structure of Adenosine Triphosphate Rook: Modelled after a phospholipid bilayer, forming a solid and stable base Knight: Based on a modified tRNA design (notably taller than previously displayed), available for download from Thingiverse Bishop: Maltose molecule, categorized as a carbohydrate or disaccharide King: Embodies the structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Queen: Molecular representation of DNA Polymerase Print Settings Rafts: Can be skipped if desired, optional support only Not required Supports: Optional addition for the bishop, knight, and queen Can be omitted Infill: Optimized with a moderate setting at 5% density.
