You can find samples and design from web sites such as https://www.thingiverse.com/
but remember that you cannot directly use a design of another person. It's ok to get inspired from existing designs and even use of some small parts of the design with modifications.
Chess Set characterıstıcs
Original Staunton chess pieces, left to right:
pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen, and king
Recommended heights of the pieces:
- King – 9.5 cm
- Queen – 8.5 cm
- Bishop – 7 cm
- Knight – 6 cm
- Rook – 5.5 cm
- Pawn – 5 cm
These dimensions may differ up to 10% from the recommended sizes, but the order must be kept (e.g. King is higher than Queen etc.).
The diameter of the piece's base should measure 40- 50% of its height.
You can use this document for your decisions about the sizes of the chess pieces.
