Description

My others chess set, gameboard and boxes

https://makerworld.com/en/collections/5564109-chess

I needed an idea to save place but keep my chess game as a decoration , so I have design this chess tower with a foldable board game .

I used bambu TPU 95, Pla mat latte , Pla metal brown , Pla mat black ,Pla marble.

it use a 50% size set. i have include one in profil

one profil use Tpu for Ams.

one profil for classic Tpu

one profil for A1 mini , dont need Tpu , use fabric .

If You dont have TPU , print in Pla the Tpu for Ams profil then glue a fabric under the board because the Pla can breack

Dont discard my profil or you wont have the stars on titles ( or use octogram on top layer).

I highly recommend Use UHU stick glue on all your plate to help you remove the Tpu at the end of the print.

I added a square on last plate to train to change colors manually for beginners.

IMPORTANT for classic Tpu ( read all before print)

how to print :

the board game for X1 A1 and P1 for classic Tpu:

Disable ams and load the TPU in external spool.

The plate will have 2 pause .

pause 1 , layer 3 : you will need to change the color manually ( when the printer will do the pause , clic on close, go to filament on the screen, unload the TPU, load Pla latte brown , then clic on resume . be careful to close the windows that tell you the print is in pause, don't stop it . the printer will ask it to you several time)

pause 2 at the end , repeat change color to go to brown .

the board game for A1 mini:

print the 4 parts of the board , and glue them on a fabric. if you dont have Ams, use pause instead of change colors in bambustudio and change color manually.( see X1 A1 P1 board)

the base and top tower

you can use AMS, if you don't have it, replace the change color in bambustudio with pause , and change color manually.

Remove supports inside the top tower.

The tower body

build it with the 2 large part at the bottom, and the 2 shorter on top.

the chess pieces

the slicer may ask you to add supports but ignore it, they dont need some.

edit : added a ring profil to add on the base only for those who have already print the tower. now the base have it include.

added a profil with clip to lock the board , thanks to matt thibs @mthib , boost him too .

good print and good chess party .

Used Fabric after 1st layer as I was not having TPU, Fabric method also worked perfectly, Printed white Chess pieces In Glow in the dark filament. Tower was printed on Anycubic combo and Board on Bambu Lab A1using Generic PLA

A1 X1 P1 classic Tpu read describe is important

We love it. My kids play chess at school, but we didn’t have a set at home. I printed the tower and now we play all the time and it looks cool. I did buy Self Adhesive Velvet Flock from Amazon instead of printing the board out of TPU. So far, so good. I used PLA and didn’t use the AMS for the board, so I had to swap out colors manually. It would be nice if there were an option to use the AMS with PLA to change the colors on the board for you, but either way, it’s very nice and fun.

Replying to @Mimihomedecorat :

So, another thought. Instead of 2 little bumps that connect the middle of the tower that holds the peaces, maybe the whole center part can be printed and the round parts that hold chess peaces can be printed separately and have a slot to fit in? Also, maybe there is a way that the top of the tower locks on the top somehow. I was carrying the tower by the middle and the whole thing slip out the bottom and broke. Also, raise the bottom edge up so you don’t have to print and keep track if that little clip that holds it together. Just a thought. The chess tower is really cool and we love it in my house.

Wonderfully clever idea. I don't think the TPU for the AMS sticks to PLA. I tried it twice and all the PLA parts pulled away from the TPU as soon as I tried to remove the board from the plate (1st picture). I used PETG and it was able to stick to the TPU wonderfully. As an enhancement, I've added a space for 2 18mm x 3mm magnets to the top section of the spine and the underside of the turret. This allows the turret to stick to the spine and hold the the whole tower together

Great gift for my son! Than you! I created a clip to hold it tight, but otherwise it was super!
