I was in search for a compact chess set for our camping bus. I wanted a box wich contains all set components. Traditional figures tend to be too bulky.
Then i found flyboysgu beautiful design https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4581696 but realized that i will not be able to print that design with the limitations of my printer. So i researched that astonishing design of F. Lanier Graham decided to go back to the original simple block design but build into a super compact box with less parts.
The pictures showing my prototype and go with 25x12,5cm up to the maximum of my aged Dremel 3d40 printer.
I uploaded the already optimized and fixed design. The dimensions were slightly fixes and i added a space for 2 spare Queens. You have to print 2 x body and 32 x tile for the box. Print the chess sets in a color of your liking it will will fit inside of the box. The tiles are fixing snug. Maybe the tiles on the edges require some gluing.
I added holes to add 5x2mm magnets from Amazon. You need 14 of them.
