Customizable Checkerboard

thingiverse

This is a one-of-a-kind checkerboard that I designed specifically for my 5-year-old daughter, who wanted a board where she could easily swap out the tile colors herself. To keep things simple and easy to manage, I opted against using a modular board system. Instead, this custom design allows her to insert color tiles into raised squares on the board. The entire checkerboard measures 360mm in size, but it's fully scalable, so you can resize it down to fit your needs if needed. I'm printing this project on my trusty Anycubic Chiron, which will yield a smooth and precise finish for the entire setup - including the checkerboard itself, the individual squares, and even custom checkers that are designed to match perfectly with the rest of the board. Since the checkers are fairly small, they shouldn't require any supports during printing, but feel free to add them if you're still getting used to working with this kind of project. I'm a bit nervous about sharing my work here for the first time, so please be gentle with me as I get started!
