Introduction: Learn to Make a Pawn of Chess With Tinkercad.

About: I'm a french student.

Hello, today i'm going to show you guys how to design a 3D pawn with tinkercad because sometimes we lose pieces that we never find, so me i created the pieces with cardboard or paper but it was ugly and delicate and i search ways to make it better so i started to try to make it with tinkercad but with the easiest way so that everyone can redo it at home to share it with you. So i make in attach file for you to download at home.


Supplies

You need just a tinkercad account so to that you need to

  1. Open tinkercad.com in your navigator.
  2. Choose between login or sign up: login if you already have an account and sign up if you don't.
  3. Then you click to personal account and you choose the way to sign up or log in.

Step 1: Base

To make the base of the shape you need to:

  • Create a new project,
  • Then, when you are in the workshop,generate a cylinder.
  • Cylinder size: X: 16mm, Y: 16mm, Z: 5mm.
  • Put the sides of the cylinder to 60 to smooth the sides.

Step 2: Cone

To make this cone:

  • Generate a cone;
  • Cone size: X: 15mm, Y: 15mm, Z: 14.40mm.
  • Put the sides of the cone to 60 too.

Step 3: Half Sphere

To make this shape:

  • Generate a half sphere,
  • Half sphere size: X: 10mm, Y: 10mm, Z: 18mm.
  • Align it with the cone.
  • Group both to have this shape.

Step 4: 2nd Shape

To make this shape:

  • Pull up the group of the cone and the half cylinder to 2mm;
  • Then align it to the first cylinder we made,
  • And group all to give this shape.

Step 5: Cone 2

To make this:

  • Generate a cone again,
  • Cone size: X: 8mm, Y: 8mm, Z: 2mm.
  • Copy and past the cone but you can copy and past it easier by choose the cone and do "Crtl+c" and "Crtl+v".
  • Then you have to rotate one of the cone to 180°.
  • Pull up the other cone to 6mm.

Step 6: 2nd Cylinder

To make this shape:

  • Generate a cylinder.
  • Cylinder size: X: 8mm, Y: 8mm, Z: 2mm.
  • Pull the cylinder up to 2mm.
  • Align the cylinder with the cone thar we rotated to 180° and group.
  • Then align with the cone that we pulled up to 6mm.
  • Pull down the cone to 4mm.
  • And group all to give this shape.

Step 7: 3rd Shape

To make this shape:

  • Pull up the previous shape to 17mm.
  • Align with the 2nd shape and group to give this shape.

Step 8: Head

To make the shape:

  • Generate a cylinder,
  • Cylinder size: X: 6mm, Y: 6mm, Z: 5mm.
  • Put the sides of the cylinder to 60.
  • Generate a sphere.
  • Sphere size: X: 10mm, Y: 10mm, 10mm.
  • Put the steps of of the sphere to 24.
  • Pull up the spher to 1mm.
  • Align with the cylinder and group to give this shape.

Step 9: Last Step

Finally :

  • Pull up the previous shape to 21mm.
  • Align with the basic shape and group to have like this.

The pawn is finished right now.

Step 10: Finished Project

So this is the pawn when it is over;

  • You can change the color of the pawn by pressing the shape and the circle with the color.

So I show you the result if i open this with 3D viewer and Paint 3D.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial and it helped you☺. Bye
