Vertical Chessboard, aka The Cat Proof Chessboard

The Vertical Chessboard, aka Cat Proof Chess Like most cats, my kitties look like adorable piles of fluff content on living the quiet life of napping and purring. But in reality they're little balls of evil intent on destruction. Their favorite activity is to look me dead in the eye while knocking down something that will shatter, but unattended chess pieces will do just fine. That's why I made the Vertical Chessboard. It can easily be mounted on a wall, up and out of reach of their evil little paws. The chess pieces were modified from PerryT's excellent chess set. The board pieces were printed at 200-micron layer height with 20% infill. No supports are needed for them. The pieces themselves were done at 100-micron layer height with 30% infill. They will need a lot of supports and lots of them. To print this chess set, you'll need to print the following pieces: Black: Top x3 Top Right x1 Bottom Left x1 Bottom x3 Left x3 Right x3 Center x19 King and Queen x1 Bishop, Knight, Rook x2 Pawn x8 White: Top x3 Top Left x1 Bottom Right x1 Bottom x3 Left x3 Right x3 Center x19 King and Queen x1 Bishop, Knight, Rook x2 Pawn x8 And lots of pins to put it all together. The completed chess set in the images was printed at 80% scale. My cat's name is Two. The top left and right pieces have keyhole slots to mount it on a wall, but the print turned out so light I stuck mine up with poster tack instead. This print will take several million years to complete, and you could save time now by switching to a less time-consuming hobby.
