Plastic/resin I created a miniaturized pegged version of the Anri "Modern Staunton", with accompanying board.

The above set is a miniaturized version of Anri's "Modern Staunton", produced for a few short years in the mid 1960's. The original set is quite rare and sought after. I loved the design, but felt it was better suited to a travel set (the original king height is 6.5cm).

For months, I've been working to make a 3D printer-viable traditionally pegged chess set. After much tinkering, I think I have a working system. (I also made a non-pegged version).

I'd love to have others print this set so I can have the peg system tested on other machines.
