$4.993D Printed Chess Set with Roll-up Board & Carrying Case

myminifactory

This is a one-of-a-kind chess set designed from the ground up, featuring a roll-up board and carrying case that doubles as a unique display piece. The carrying case holds all the pieces securely in place for easy transport, and when fully assembled with the board, it transforms into a massive rook, making it an eye-catching conversation starter that can be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors due to its plastic construction. Quick Video of it in action!: The board and chess pieces are designed to stay together without the case, offering a versatile and durable playing experience. If you're looking for a robust and flexible board, this design is perfect for your needs. Printing Given the size of the rook case (over 16" tall when assembled), printing everything can take some time, but all pieces are designed to fit standard i3 buildplates. The chess pieces and board tiles can be printed on smaller printers, but the base and top files ("1b-rook-top" and "1b-base") require Prusa-sized buildplates or larger. Printing these parts will take 3-5 days with a single printer, depending on your buildplate and print settings. With light print settings (low infill), you'll need about one 1kg roll of white filament and two 1kg rolls of black filament (or any colors you prefer!). Assembly The assembly process is straightforward, with parts designed to fit together correctly. The only potential issues that could arise are gluing things too quickly or reversing the color of tiles. A detailed build Instruction document can be found at https://bit.ly/2WLRmeL.
