Chess Board (for dual extruder)

thingiverse

If your 3D printer has dual extruders, you can print out a solid chess board. In addition to a full 8x8 board, a 4x4 version is provided for those with smaller build plates, or who want to make modular boards of different sizes (such as 12x12) for variant versions of chess. The first color can be printed out as shown; for the second, use the same model, but turn it 90 degrees (either direction), and center both figures on the same point. The 240mm size is small for the game (20mm per square), but is designed to fit most large 3D printers. I've also included 4x4 versions in both 20mm and the standard 50mm sizes, for smaller printers; these can also be used to create boards larger than 8x8. Any printer material should work fine; PLA is an obvious choice, though I personally prefer TPU's rubbery grip so the pieces don't slide around so much.
