Travel-size Checkers Set

pinshape

A compact 8x8 checkerboard for playing English draughts and similar games comes with 12 draughtsmen of each color and built-in storage for them. Designed for easy transport and assembly, it measures just 210 x 210 mm, making it small enough to fit on many common print beds like the Prusa i3 MK2S. The checkered top is designed to print as one multi-colored piece with a manual filament change before each of the two final layers. ### Print Settings - Resolution: 0.25 mm - Infill: 20% Gyroid - Filament Material: PLA - Filament Colors: gold, brown, charcoal, black, white - Perimeters: 3 - Solid Bottom Layers: 4 - Solid Top Layers: 5 - Skirt Loops: 0 (Since this completely fills the print bed of a Prusa i3 MK2S, there's no room for a skirt.) ### Fill Patterns For bottom of bottom.stl: Octagram Spiral For top of draughtsman-*.stl: Hilbert Curve For all other surfaces: Rectilinear ### Print Quantities 1 x top.stl (Recommended to start with gold, then switch to brown for the second-to-last layer and charcoal for the last layer) 1 x middle.stl (Gold recommended) 2 x pin.stl (Same color as middle.stl) 1 x bottom.stl (Charcoal recommended) 24 x draughtsman-manside.stl (12 black and 12 white recommended) 24 x draughtsman-kingside.stl (12 of each color, same as draughtsman-manside.stl, but switch to gold for the two final layers) ### Post-Printing 1. Using glue and the two printed pins, mount the checkered top on the middle. 2. Slide the bottom onto the middle using the integrated rails. 3. Glue together the two halves of each draughtsman.
