4x5 Microchess set

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.

Microchess is a Chess variant invented by Glimne in 1997. It uses a small 4x5 board, with a reduced number of pieces. There is no queen starting on the board, and only a single pawn.

The rules of chess apply, with the following differences:
Pawns have no double-move option.
There is no castling.
Pawns can promote to any of the four pieces as in chess, including queen.

The pieces for this set can be found at:

The pieces and board are intended to be magnetized. There is a storage tray with a magnetic latch.

There are three different sizes included, scaled down from a full sized FIDE set. They are:
0.50 scale: 5.8" x 4.8" x 1.2", uses 6x3mm magnets
0.33 scale: 3.8" x 3.8" x 0.8" uses 4x2mm magnets
0.25 scale: 2.9" x 2.9" x 0.6" uses 3x2mm magnets

If you only want the board and no storage, print “Microchess board.stl”. Otherwise, print the other files. The top and bottom are glued together.
