2. Magnetic Chess Set

Ever since The Queen’s Gambit appeared on Netflix, have you been thinking about how you can combine your passion for chess and 3D printing? Then this design from JANHARDER is just the thing for you. Prepare to amaze your friends with this magnetic chessboard that allows you to play chess on the go, with the pieces held in place by a magnet. The construction consists of sticking magnets in the holes of the board and under each piece, making sure the polarity is correct so that the magnets stick to each square. The dimensions of the magnets must be 5×1 mm. There are two versions of the board: one for large and one for small printers. If you are using a small printer, the board is divided into four parts that must be joined together with eight clips. Simply insert the clips into the holes and join the pieces together to create a complete and stable chessboard. The JANHARDER design consists of 11 free files containing the chessboard and the different pieces. You can see the step-by-step assembly (in German, but the visual may help) in this video and download the free file HERE.
