Singularity Chess Board

<p>Singularity Chess is a chess variant played on a distorted chess board, where the pieces make strange moves. &nbsp;This board has Singularity Chess on one side, and normal chess on the other.</p><p>For rules or to try online, see <a href="https://greenchess.net/rules.php?v=singularity">https://greenchess.net/rules.php?v=singularity</a>. For a board image to 2D-print, see the “Other boards” download on <a href="https://greenchess.net/info.php?item=downloads">https://greenchess.net/info.php?item=downloads</a>&nbsp;</p><p>The model was first drawn in Inkscape, then exported using the “Export to OpenSCAD” plugin. &nbsp;The OpenSCAD files were edited slightly to create each part (dark/light squares, board etc). &nbsp;Edit the OpenSCAD files if you wish to change the thickness of the top/bottom layer.<br><br>To print on a single-extruder Prusa printer, use the "Multiple Extruders" setting of Prusa Slicer – it's useful to set each extruder to a different colour in “Printer Settings → Extruder 1” etc.</p><p>Then add the "board" part, right click it, choose "Add Part", and add each of the other parts (squares etc) in turn. &nbsp;They should line up automatically. &nbsp;Assign each part to a different extruder. &nbsp;Set the "Tool Change G-Code" to "M600". Use the colour print preview in Prusa Slicer to check everything is as you expect, and see in what order each colour should be loaded.</p><p>The 3MF files have all this done already.</p><p>The squares/circles are only a single layer thick, so choose your filament carefully. &nbsp;Some filaments are very opaque, others will allow the centre to show through. &nbsp;<br><br>My project and G-code include a full-height, 3-loop skirt. &nbsp;This is because of what seems like an underextrusion bug during colour changes – I have the underextrusion in the skirt.</p><p>See the README.txt file for instructions on colour changes of my G-code files.</p><p>The chessmen shown in the photos are “Organic Chess Set” by NTX9: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/1067-organic-chess-set</p>
