Folding Chess Board

How cool is that? A compact, folding chessboard that can be printed on virtually any printer and assembled from parts with precision engineering. \nJoinery - a crucial skill for every 3D designer to master - requires expertise in creating precise connections between components, making it essential for assembling complex structures like this board. The slider/slot joinery is particularly important, as it enables the construction of two separate halves that come together seamlessly via flexible hinges. Each individual piece measures less than one inch square, but you can also use alternative cubes to create a larger board. To achieve such accuracy without excessive tolerance levels, all parts are designed for easy slicing and can be printed in PLA or ABS using most 3D printers, even those with limited build volumes.
