Experience a blend of classic strategy and modern engineering with this Foldable Chess Set. Inspired by the elegant "Chess Prestige" design by ERAVIA, this version has been meticulously redesigned to prioritize ease of FDM printing.
Optimized Print-in-Place Hinges: Redesigned specifically for FDM printing to ensure high durability and smooth folding action without the need for assembly.
Post-Print Magnet Integration: Designed for 6mm magnets that can be easily pressed into place after the print is complete—no need to pause your printer or do mid-print layer swaps.
Custom-Scaled Chess Pieces: Includes a perfectly rescaled set of grizzie17’s chess pieces, sized precisely to fit the board's dimensions for a seamless look.
Single-Unit Printing: The entire board is designed to be printed as one solid unit (requires a 210mm x 210mm bed or larger).
Using the Structural profile on an Original Prusa MK4:
Foldable Chess Board & Caps: ~10 hours
Chess Piece Sets: ~3 hours per color set (~6 hours total for a complete set)
Board Design Inspiration: Chess Prestige by ERAVIA
Original Chess Pieces: Another set of chess pieces by grizzie17
