ChessLine. Compact minimalistic chess set

prusaprinters

<p>I made another version of the field for a compact chess set. Here, as in previous projects, everything needed for the game is collected in a small volume and the kit is completely printed on a printer. In this chess, as in the previous ones, the figures are inserted one inside the other, and also adjoin their heads to each other (like a thorn and a groove). But this time I came up with the idea of ​​breaking the cells of the chessboard into 8 pieces, which are stored inside the chess pieces. Assembling the field and preparing for the game takes an extremely short time (however, it takes a little longer to assemble the game).<br>The pieces are quite large - their diameter is 26 mm (pawns - 19.6 mm).<br>The figures of bishops are made in the form of a miter, a rook - a tower, and for horses (knights-riders) I used a saddle silhouette.</p><p>No support is required for printing chess pieces, board parts and adapters, and no gluing or processing is required. Figures and caps-retainers (two of them are required) are connected by frictional force. Can be printed with PLA, PETG or other materials. For high-quality printing of adapters and most figures, a layer thickness of 0.2 is sufficient. Some of them (for example, knights) have smooth bends at the top, for them the best result with a smooth surface is obtained with a layer thickness of 0.7. And for parts with flat surfaces, you should enable smoothing.<br>When printing a field, a single filament change is required. At the same time, for reprint (if you do not print 8 parts at once, but for example, 4 as I did), you do not need to change the filament before printing - it doesn't matter which color of the cells is printed first. Please note that before installing the parts of the field in the clips, they must be connected in pairs like a thorn and a groove:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/75091/rich_content/7849bcc5-f284-407b-87dc-9d17869820fb/shem1.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2215d718d2-2ce0-46bd-89f1-06a0234c56f1%22%2C%22w%22%3A916%2C%22h%22%3A397%7D"></figure><p>Check out another project of mine - the most compact <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/74820-ultimate-compact-chesspoint-set-with-convertible-b">ChessPoint</a> chess set where you can create any configuration of the field and the arrangement of chess pieces:&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/75091/rich_content/ef0bb0d4-c9fb-43cb-94ea-8b9d91696bd1/2021-08-28-14-59-32.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2274ffe34f-aed9-4100-96e4-f89ca622696e%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure>
