I think if you accentuate the gaps in the pawn and then give the rest of the pieces a similar stylized look that mimics the gaps in the pawns it would looks really cool. Also, a version that can transform into any promotion would be an amazing challenge.
@@Redditard The whole point is that the promotion is automatic. If you have to swap to a pawn that can promote to what you want then you might as well just swap the regular pawn to the piece that you want.
This is like the coolest thing ever! Also, 12:50 that looks like a stalemate, not checkmate. If you can't move any of your pieces, but your king is not in check, it is a draw.
Dude, yours is way cooler than pygmillionaire's. Like, not even close. I know how hard it can be to cram a mechanical system into a small space. His is way more basic. Extremely well done man.
@@haassteambraker9959Id never seen pygmillionaires until after this video and yeah, its defenitely nothing to sneeze at but fact of the matter is its easier to just grab your queen to replace it. This new solution is easier to use in application, while adding to the cool factor by being automatic
ive been a huge fan of this channel since the original unpickable lock. And the sheer amount of joy i felt when i just saw thus on my feed and saw it was posted 10 min ago was crazy.
The amount of effort and tent to produce this video is actually mind blowing. Amazing engineering and designed paired with great editing and cinematography.
Polyfjord is a legend in the 3D space, and you, a legend in the making things real space. Absolutely top notch production on this with an excellent outcome!
When I watched the Polyfjord video I actually thought how incredible it would be to see a physical version of that chess piece, but naturally I assumed it would be impossible. What I am trying to say is; you have done the impossible. Excellent work!
A friction grease, like is used in the throttle quadrant of the Saitek X-56, could help slow down the action so that the force of the spring doesn't damage the mechanism, or cause it to hop.
Thank you for including the "demotivation" part. Your concept alone was SO much more sophisticated than theirs, and yet you shortly got derailed by it. Thank you for picking it up again, showed me that even when someone else publishes a "similar" thing, it never takes away from your take and people *do* understand the difference clearly
The first spring look like a chunkier version of the one you can see in mechanical watch. Really powerful, but really small. Great work. It look so cool.
This is such a great implementation of the idea! It reminds me of a clicky pen mechanism, but it works so well! I'm also impressed at how good it looks.
Everything about this video was perfect. The video editing, the music choices, the concept and the finished result! Wonderful work, great job mate! I can't wait to see the community build upon this idea for sure!
That's really cool! I think it would be more practical if you could push down on the base to activate the mechanism so it can be used on any board, but the magnetic activation is really neat as well.
If you're gonna change the horse from a pawn, what if you had the back and head fold into itself? (Kinda like the head of the qween) Then the sides can cave in to give the overall shape? Not sure if you'll see this, but this is a really good idea.
I had to google this because of the line at 1:00 and learned about Saavedra Position. More importantly, I learned that being unable to make a move while still not in check is a stalemate, not a win for the player who last moved. While I think it's counter intuitive to say one player being unable to move while the other could is a stalemate, it does create more strategy to avoiding a complete loss. It adds to reasons to keep playing when losing, which is more fun for the player who is winning and achieving a come back or even mitigating defeat are incredibly rewarding feelings. That is amazing game design, a true master piece of a rule. More importantly, now that you have made a queen tranforming pawn, the next step is figuring out how to rotate a pawn between all 5 possible pieces. I can imagine pawn > rook > bishop > queen being realistically possible, but whoever manages all 5 will be a legend.
If you "did" go with an electronic version, you can very easily have the board act as a wireless charger for the pawns. So when the pieces are resting on the squares, it keeps them charged. And when a piece makes it to the end, depending on the pawns setting. (Which you can easily manage by a simple rotating notched ring), it will take that shape at the end point.
I saw the video he posted, and I was hoping that someone would try to do something like this, one that can turn into more than a queen, but I wasn’t expecting it to be so well made.
The only stl i ever bought was thet flexy dragon when i started printing. Later i decided i will never buy stl's, i will design them for myself. Now you got me! This will be the second
I genuinely believe this is a business opportunity. Chess sets with Pawns like this would be something all chess enthusiasts I know would 100% buy. I don't play chess myself, but even I would buy this as a gift for those friends. Amazing job.
It's a small marvel of engineering., however as a chess piece it is a gimmick. There are situtations where you do not want to promote to a queen but a rook instead.
THIS is exactly what i hoped for, someone will make when i saw polyjords video. Its awsome! However i wozld suggest, to design the normal queen, to habe the exact same outer model. So its bot colapsable into a pawn, but a promoted pawn has the exact same form as the normal queen then! Honestly, id buy such a set!
I've been working on my own chess set for like 8 months now, hopefully I'll get it done soon. My uhh... choice of manufacturing method has made it take several times longer than intended lol.
This is seriously one of the most impressive projects I've ever seen. I kept saying "wow" out loud, like when you mentioned that it could print without supports. Honestly both the final products and the animations and the whole video are all beautiful! Well done~
The reveal of all CADing being done in Onshape is AMAZING! Was wondering, are the animations also generated in Onshape? If so, that's so much more impressive because of how primitive the animating tools are in there.
i was expecting something way more complicated (dont get me wrong, this is still crazy), but it's fundamentally just a pen mechanism with a ton of moving parts attached, very elegant.
Amazing! I’m honoured to be part of your inspiration, your execution is just fantastic!!
Next one, build one of your crab or spider thingy
Love your work man
The little “click” that happens when it promotes is SO satisfying!
This on slowmo would look so cool!
its the same click that Bakugan toys have when they activate. Same satisfying sound
I think if you accentuate the gaps in the pawn and then give the rest of the pieces a similar stylized look that mimics the gaps in the pawns it would looks really cool. Also, a version that can transform into any promotion would be an amazing challenge.
Instead of any it could be that 2 pawns can promote to queens, 2 to rook, bishop and knights and as required they may switch the pawns
@@Redditard no one will transform pawn to bishop and rook, that's totally useless.
@@___15Not if you're allowed to pick, but a version of the game where each pawn has a predestined transformation type could be interesting.
@@___15It's rare but there are some endgames where promoting to a queen causes stalemate.
@@Redditard The whole point is that the promotion is automatic. If you have to swap to a pawn that can promote to what you want then you might as well just swap the regular pawn to the piece that you want.
Your end result was what I imagine all my projects being in my head before I fail miserably in execution. Amazing.
One of the best videos I've seen on maker UA-cam in a long, long time. Really amazing work
Glad you enjoyed!

Bro answered the question "What if Bakugan was chess?"
Lol
Quality is off the charts
LOVE the animations
This is like the coolest thing ever!
Also, 12:50 that looks like a stalemate, not checkmate. If you can't move any of your pieces, but your king is not in check, it is a draw.
oops! thanks for catching that
@@worksbydesignI will be wating for pawn into knight that will be the most difficult I believe
Dude, yours is way cooler than pygmillionaire's. Like, not even close. I know how hard it can be to cram a mechanical system into a small space. His is way more basic. Extremely well done man.
um, let's not start a fight here, ok?
Yeah pygmillionaire's whole "bop it twist it pull it" transformation just doesn't have the grace of this design.

The make of this video said he was not allowed to make pygmillionairs design. Pygmillionair is a jrerk and im a hater now
Edit : not make, show
ive been a huge fan of this channel since the original unpickable lock. And the sheer amount of joy i felt when i just saw thus on my feed and saw it was posted 10 min ago was crazy.
The magnet mechanism is genius
Love this so much! Must have been such a challenge fitting all those mechanisms in such a small space but you did it wonderfully!
It was a real challenge indeed, and thank you!
the sound design, premise, project, editing are all genuinely incredible!
seriously, one of the best videos of 2024!
Wow thank you!
The amount of effort and tent to produce this video is actually mind blowing. Amazing engineering and designed paired with great editing and cinematography.

You should also watch pygmallionares video too! Its just as interesting as this one
The design of the piece, the editing, the animation is all *chef’s kiss
A friction grease, like is used in the throttle quadrant of the Saitek X-56, could help slow down the action so that the force of the spring doesn't damage the mechanism, or cause it to hop.
Thats awesome man, ty for showing me the eixistence about that book on 5:22.
That's so incredibly awesome! Just the fact that it activates automatically without the need for a button makes it look so much cooler.
Thank you for including the "demotivation" part. Your concept alone was SO much more sophisticated than theirs, and yet you shortly got derailed by it.
Thank you for picking it up again, showed me that even when someone else publishes a "similar" thing, it never takes away from your take and people *do* understand the difference clearly
This is such a cool design and the result looks amazing too. It's always great to see form and function come together.
The first spring look like a chunkier version of the one you can see in mechanical watch. Really powerful, but really small.
Great work. It look so cool.
i really wish people just doing awesome shit like this was more sustainable. masterpiece as always from you, in every aspect.
This is such a great implementation of the idea! It reminds me of a clicky pen mechanism, but it works so well! I'm also impressed at how good it looks.
definitely hit me with the nostalgic of Bakugan
This channel deserves far more viewers and subscribers
Everything about this video was perfect. The video editing, the music choices, the concept and the finished result! Wonderful work, great job mate! I can't wait to see the community build upon this idea for sure!
Just got out of surgery and seeing a new upload made my day. Love seeing the process of everything
That's really cool! I think it would be more practical if you could push down on the base to activate the mechanism so it can be used on any board, but the magnetic activation is really neat as well.
That's awesome. I enjoyed this as much as your lock. There's something almost magical about the mechanical click that causes a smile.
How the hell you can both do so complicated projects and so high quality videos abot them in finite human time??? Amazing video, amazing design!
Oh man I had a sudden flashback to those Bakugon toys. Amazing video!
I'm amazed by this project, it's really clever, and i can't imagine how hard it was to Design
sound design on those animations where all the pieces click together is super satisfying
This is absolutely incredible! Way better and the mechanics are so satisfying!
I started the video thinking to comment about that polyfjord video. great to see creators inspiring each other!
Thats great, I remember seeing the original video and thinking no way could someone do that in real life. And you blew me out of the water. So cool!
This one is a big improvement over the pweem, definitely worth the continued effort!
as a first time viewer, I'm absolutely blown away by the quality and cinematography of the video! And the pawn design is sick :)
dude the production quality on this video is crazy you need to go viral
I loved the lockpicking video.
Since the first time i saw the animation by polyfjord ive been hoping someone makes it a reality, this is perfect!

If someone would ask me if that idea of transformation promotion is possible to make real, I'd say no. Amazing work man.
This is one of the best looking videos Ive seen on the platform, holy crap
The production quality of this video is amazing. Well done.
at 12:38 the little jump the pawn does when promoting is so comical and cute!
I'm impressed you made it work with fdm printing. Surely switching to resin would make a smaller model possible.
It truly feels like a powerup now when the pawn turns into a queen with the awesome transformation, it has an intimidation factor
What a cool video, great presentation and really cool foley work too! This is an awesome project!
If you "did" go with an electronic version, you can very easily have the board act as a wireless charger for the pawns.

the pawn is so happy that it jumps when the moment it changes to Queen !
Would've been cool to go all out and make a machined set and (pre)sell it to some gazillionaire.
Obviously still amazing video! well done
The only stl i ever bought was thet flexy dragon when i started printing. Later i decided i will never buy stl's, i will design them for myself. Now you got me! This will be the second
This is elegant, way better than pygmillionaire's.
Definitely hitting half a mil by February
Very impressed with your design and ability, regardless, if a function has been made before. New sub.
12:38 that delay is like the pawn is charging for metamorphosis🤣🤣🤣
I genuinely believe this is a business opportunity.
Chess sets with Pawns like this would be something all chess enthusiasts I know would 100% buy.

What a brilliant idea and execution! Enjoyed every second..
Very cool video, I'm always surprised every time I see one of your videos that you aren't already massive like stuff made here.
This looks fun! and it looks like I can build my own from your files! Nice offering! Oh... and the video is super way good!
This is a very cool design. Waaaay better than manual pull-and-twist design that Pygmallionaire made
Really impressive work! Well done👏
Bro made the most dramatic 3d printing and assembling montage ive ever seen.
the project and video quality is impressive.... but playing chess online while doing cad? Dayum dude.
Amazing. happy for you, man!
Sick, dude. I hadn’t seen that other video, but your pawn is better anyway.
Wow, that's a really creative design!
Amazing! Love your quality!
THIS is exactly what i hoped for, someone will make when i saw polyjords video. Its awsome! However i wozld suggest, to design the normal queen, to habe the exact same outer model. So its bot colapsable into a pawn, but a promoted pawn has the exact same form as the normal queen then! Honestly, id buy such a set!
that is insanely cool
That clicks really gives it an extra grandeur. Really adds the reward to it.
This is like the type of thing that some old european monarch would have gifted to them by a watch maker. I love it!
This feels like something you could sell! Please take the opportunity to!!
Got recommended you past video and saw this was posted glad I clicked
Seeing videos like this inspire me to pursue engineering but as i look at my physics grades this dream shatters immediately
Damn this videography is insane
Love it bro! Incredible work
This is such a beautiful video
I've been working on my own chess set for like 8 months now, hopefully I'll get it done soon. My uhh... choice of manufacturing method has made it take several times longer than intended lol.
You’re very talented. Super cool
The one which delayed its transformation for a bit was the best :-)
Cinematography was on point
This is seriously one of the most impressive projects I've ever seen. I kept saying "wow" out loud, like when you mentioned that it could print without supports. Honestly both the final products and the animations and the whole video are all beautiful! Well done~

Thanks! I do all the modeling in Onshape but then I import everything into blender for rendering / animating :)
Looking forward to your next projects after how amazing things one is
I was disappointed when I first watched Polyfjord's video because I thought it was gonna be real.
Now this is incredible
this is truly the greatest chess thing to have come to life. amazing project and execution
That's amazing, it would still be really cool to see at least one pawn made with metal
hope you design a pawn that transforms into a knight next!!
This is actually insane and amazing
This entire video tickles my brain in the best way
i was expecting something way more complicated (dont get me wrong, this is still crazy), but it's fundamentally just a pen mechanism with a ton of moving parts attached, very elegant.
Now I need to see this design in cnc metal!!
Holy crap, this is so sick! I wouldn't even care about winning the game anymore, I'd just wanna reach the other side with as manny pawns as I can
