Modular Dice System (MDS) – Chess Edition

Modular Dice System (MDS) – Chess Edition

This is the Chess Edition of the Modular Dice System (MDS), based on the rounded Cube geometry.

Each face features one chess piece, resulting in a perfectly balanced and meaningful set:

• Pawn
• Knight
• Bishop
• Rook
• Queen
• King

The symbols are created using a chess diagram font, ensuring clear, recognizable, and well-proportioned pieces optimized for 3D printing.

Four Dice Variants Included

This release includes four complete dice:

• Two dice with white bodies, black faces, and white pieces
• Two dice with black bodies, white faces, and black pieces

This dual-color approach offers strong contrast, excellent readability, and a refined visual identity inspired by traditional chess sets.

Modular Snap-Fit Design

Like all MDS Cube editions, this model uses snap-fit square faces:

• Press-fit assembly
• No glue required
• Secure and stable once installed
• Faces can be removed by pushing from the opposite side with a thin tool
• Once all six faces are inserted, removal becomes extremely difficult

This guarantees durability during play while keeping the system modular.

Use Cases

This chess dice can be used for:

• Random piece selection
• Chess variants and training exercises
• Board game mechanics
• Desk objects or decorative pieces for chess enthusiasts

Part of the Modular Dice System

This edition is fully compatible with the Modular Dice System (MDS).
Faces can be remixed or redesigned while keeping the same core geometry.

Remixes are welcome — create your own themed face sets and share them with the community.
