This elegant chess set combines minimalist design and practicality.

The hinged board prints in place with no assembly required.

The geometric chess pieces fit neatly into the foldable chess board, making it perfect for travel.

Choosing Colors

• For the squares and rim simply use the coloring tool.
• For the piece symbols inside the board go to the "Objects" tab and change the filament for “pieces-symbols”. This ensures better print quality than with the coloring tool.

Printing

I recommend:

• 25% grid infill and 3 walls
• concentric bottom surface pattern (for nice squares)
• smooth build plate
• optional: If you have adhesion issues, use a brim. I recommend the mouse-ear brims available in OrcaSlicer.

Post-Processing

There is generally no need for any post-processing.

The clasping mechanism is designed to be a bit on the tighter end, just in case. Should it be too tight for your taste, simply file off a little bit off the two nubs to make it smoother.
