Chess Book Foldable Chessboard Ancient Book Design Storage + Gameplay Print in Place Portable Board Game

🏮3D Printed Ancient Book Chess Toy is here! Aesthetics × Storage × Chess Play, One Set Does It All✨

Folks! As someone obsessed with chess and passionate about 3D printing, I finally turned the "Ancient Book Chess Book-Chess" in my mind into reality!
Right after printing and assembling it, I couldn't resist sharing it immediately! This is definitely a blend of aesthetics and practicality, it can be a decorative item at home, and you can easily take it with you to play chess outdoors~

📎 Chess Piece Size Specifications (Very Important)

Everyone has different aesthetics, and you can print any chess piece appearance you like~ But please be sure to note:
🔹The diameter of the chess pieces should not exceed 16 mm
This way, they will fit securely into the grid slots I designed, smoothly and without hitting the lid
If there is high demand, I will also provide an official chess piece version for everyone to print directly later!

📕 Ancient Book Design × Print in Place Design

To make it easier for all friends to print, this version uses:
✨Print in Place structure — no complicated assembly, one-time molding
Of course, the Print in Place design will have certain limitations on the overall size If the feedback is good, I will release:
📌Disassembled version (closer to actual book size, more luxurious unfolding method)

Please leave a comment and tell me which direction you prefer!
