This chess board will allow you to transport it wherever you want with its compact and easy-to-assemble format, in addition to storing the pieces inside the board that turns into a suitcase when you check it.
Feel free to replicate, modify and even sell Chessboard.
Materials needed:
1kg PLA – Required
76 units of 5x2mm magnets – Required
8 units of 20x10x2mm magnets – Required
Instant glue – Required
EVA Foam – Not required
Chamois Paper – Not required

Paper glue – Not required
* This complete board uses less than 1kg of filament, but you will need at least 2 different colors, so the total filament consumption is even lower for each color.
This board has a few variations and you can use the one you like best.
With magnets on the pieces
No magnets on the parts
Printing with MMU
simple printing
To make the board more fun, I recommend assembling it with magnets on the pieces so that they stick to the board.
The version without magnets has the advantage of being cheaper and taking less time to assemble.
You can print a set of 4×4 houses using the MMU, which has the advantage of making your work much easier and saving you time.
If your printer doesn’t have the MMU, don’t worry. Mine doesn’t have the MMU either. I added an STL of the houses in a single unit, so you can print them separately and glue them one by one. This is more work and takes more time.
Print Settings:
Maleta / Casas:
Nozzle : 0.4
Layer height: 0.3mm
Perimeter: 3
Horizontal walls (base/top): 5
Infill: 25% (grid)
Peças:
Layer height: 0.2mm
Perimeter: 5
Horizontal walls (base/top): 5
Infill: 25% (grid)
* If you have a multicolor printer, your work will be much easier, as you can print this 4×4 house model at once, printing four of these models to assemble your complete board.
*Before starting assembly, print the “calibrator” as these pieces have slots for magnets, and with the “calibrator” you will know if the magnets will fit perfectly on the pieces, if they do not fit, adjust the thickness on the calibrator and replicate this same adjustment for the board files.
