A chess board consists of 64 squares. I really wanted to laser cut one but that would mean a very hefty glue up!
So I designed this board where all squares are connected on the diagonal. This way you only have two main pieces that just interlock.
Furthermore, the ‘cutoff’ of one color is used to cut out the play pieces and combined with the other cutoff forms the bottom of the chess board. This also means that you can conveniently store the pieces into the bottom of the board, creating a nifty flatpack travel board!
!! Important !! It is important that the outline of the board gets cut before the pieces and slots. Therefore I have given the outline the “Laser Line” property to force Studio to do that first. It is thus Essential that you adjust your Laser Line settings to be the same as your Laser Cut settings, otherwise you will waste a piece of stock material.
Have fun with my models! And don't forget to follow if you want to see more of my upcoming designs.
Happy laser cutting!

It is Essential that you adjust your Laser Line settings to be the same as your Laser Cut settings (see description and photo below)
Place the bottom pieces as in the image and carefully (but quickly) apply glue to the whole surface. It helps if you sort the letters and numbers beforehand.
Line up the top surface in the orientation as shown in the image on top of the bottom layer. Don't forget to drop the letters and numbers into their correct cutout.
Place something flat on top of the board (I used Bambu stock material in its zip lock bag) and weigh it down properly and wait the recommended time (read the manual of your glue)
Depending on the material and laser used there might be some burn marks visible. I gave my board a quick sand down and a touch of oil to bring out the best of the wood
