Chess Board - Mono Color

thingiverse

A chess/checker’s board designed to print in a single piece and in one color.Black and Withe fields are in different level. I called it high&low board. This print not requires not printer with a large print bed.The file can is easily scalable (in x y z directions) either in a CAD program or directly in a slicer program of your choice, without any deep knowledge of the programs.Often I use this board design for testing of several printer parameter like bed leveling, xyz-orientation, material flow, speed and effect of changing slicer parameters.So, after a good print I use the print as a present for my friends. In such cases, I print also game pieces. There are so many designs on thingiverse, but like „All in one pieces – chess &checkers Link: Chess / checkers - All in One pieces by AhZou - Thingiverse or thingiverse file # 5193554 designed by AhZou).
