The Knook (Chancellor)

thingiverse

Designed a knook for a chess variant inspired by the Anarchy Chess Subreddit. Read more about knooks here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_chess Credit to Edgar Gidoni on GrabCAD for the knight model: https://grabcad.com/library/chess-knight-13 Knook2.prt(Knook_v2) has a smaller base projection that is closer to real chess pieces and is slightly shorter. Knook3.prt(Knook_v3) has a circular cavity at the bottom for the purpose of inserting weights(specifically magnetic weights with sticky sides to keep it secure) to make the part heavier and therefore feel better in the hand of the user and more secure on the board. A velvet green cover can then be cut and glued onto the base for a more elegant base that mimics the rest of my chess piece set.
