5x6 Minichess set
Print Profile(0)
Description
This requires a multi-material printer. Please refer to the included gcode and PrusaSlicer 3mf project file for a reference for how to print the checkerboard pattern, which bodies to print with ferromagnetic filament, and where to pause the print to add magnets.
Minichess is a chess variant that uses a small 5x6 board, with a reduced number of pieces. There are several different starting positions that can be used.
The rules of chess apply, but without pawn double-moves.
The pieces and board are intended to be magnetized with 6x3mm magnets. There is a storage tray with a magnetic latch. The drawer piece includes internal volumes that are intended to be printed with ferromagnetic filament. The different sizes are:
Large: 6.7" x 5.7" x 1.3"
Medium: 4.4" x 3.8" x 0.8"
Small: 3.4" x 2.9"x 0.6"
