OpenSCAD parametric chess set.

thingiverse

I developed these modules to learn OpenScad and create parametric chess pieces that can be machined entirely in one go using my 3+1 axis milling machine, which I modified from a Proxxon MF-70.\nThe modules generate different chess pieces (pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen and king) and a main module that creates two full sets of pieces arranged like a chess board.\nThe main inputs are the diameter of the stock used to carve the piece, the number of sides on the piece, and a thickness parameter controlling the height of the pieces.\nUsing default values for the pieces (stockDiameter=22, layerThickness=4, numberOfSides = 8), STL and CSG files have been generated.\nThe pieces haven't been machined or printed yet; I tried importing them into Autodesk Fusion 360 to create toolpaths for machining by exporting a CSG file from OpenScad, opening it in FreeCAD, exporting as a STEP file, and then importing into Autodesk Fusion 360.
