Did you use Inkscape or some other program to clean up the SVG exported from Desmos? I seem to have issues if I try to import directly from Desmos.

Did you give students any constraints? I was thinking to tell students that a pawn should have a circular base with 20mm diameter and a height around 30mm. That way all the pawns look similar. You could have similar constraints for the other peices so that it looks like a cohesive set.

Calculated the volume of my chess pawn in Desmos with integrals as 3.92cm^3. Used a graduated cylinder to measure the displacement of the piece as approximately 4ml. Calculation confirmed! Had to hold down the pawn with the point of a pencil since it floats otherwise. #ITeachMath

Compared mine to an actual chess pawn… Seems that I made a pretty good estimate on size.

An excellent band/album/track. I got to see them in concert back in the early 2000s.

Also kept track of how many times people said "6, 7" as the walked down the side walk... 43 times... about 24% of visits. My favourite costume of the night was Trogdor the Burninator.
