Elegant Roll-up Chess Set w/ Piece Bins

Description
My version of a roll-up chess set.
Roll-up chess sets are a cool concept and there are already a few models around, but I felt that there was still room for improvement. This is my contribution:
- The lids are threaded, which makes for a far more solid storage mechanism than the alternatives I tested.
- The lids are also bins for storing the white and grey pieces seperately.
- The horse chess piece is optimized for 3D printing, requiring no supports.
- The board itself is on the outside when closed, which makes it look much more like an actual chess board when fully open, since there are no gaps between the squares. There's only one other model in makerworld that I know of that adopted this practice.
Apart from functionality, I also wanted to make the board ressemble a real chess board as much as possible, hence why it also includes full borders around the board.
I used the following filaments: Bambu Lab PLA Wood Rosewood, and Sunlu PLA Marble Ashen Concrete and Shadow Storm.
If you're interested in trying another great board game that's kind of like a soft version of chess, please check my 3D printed version of Onitama.
