Description
For this Harry Potter Wizard Chess set, I took the original chess pieces and made just a minor modifications to the pieces themselves:
- Increased thickness of Queen's staff to help it print better
- Increased thickness of Bishop's staff to help it print better
- Changed base of models to accommodate a 6x3mm magnet
Next, I designed from scratch a storage box to contain all of the pieces. The storage box is split in half, one color per half, and the two halves connect together with 6x3mm magnets.
In Bambu Studio I put negative parts just under the surface of each piece's slot, with a Pause command inserted at the correct layer; while the printer is paused, you can put in the 6x3mm magnets (it's a tight fit, but they go in with a little encouragement). If you're careful with the polarity of the magnets, the embedded magnet in the storage box should roughly line up with the magnets you put in the bottom of the pieces (Note, the pieces themselves don't have embedded magnets, just slots for you to glue them in afterwards).
The pawns are two rows of four, and to make sure the bottom of the second row printed well, i removed those ‘shelves’ and they get printed separately. They can be glued in afterwards. Note, their widths are not equal, so each of the shelves corresponds to a particular slot. In my print profile, i move one of the shelves to a separate plate so you can test the tolerance of the magnet slot.
