About this model

I liked the concept of Heikki_Hietala but I wanted to hide the plugs. In the same idea as I needed to resize them, I made it customizable. Provided STLs are 30mm sides. See also Chess Set Box (not a customizer!) and Chess Set Credit : Alien Chess Set from ethanjurman Edit 02/2017 I added a tolerance value for the "pegs" in the customizer and a test part (I should have do it much earlier...sorry)
