Description
Compact board, classic pieces, fast print time. This is a clean, travel‑size chess set designed for reliable printing on any machine — no AMS required. The pieces follow a classic Staunton‑style silhouette, and the board uses a slip‑tile system so you can print the colors separately and drop them in for a perfect contrast. Everything is sized for small beds and quick plates, making it ideal for beginners, testers, travelers, or anyone who wants a simple, premium‑looking set without multi‑material complications.
The board prints as a single solid base, and the tiles press‑fit into place. No glue, no sanding, no alignment issues. The entire set prints in about eight hours total, with no supports and no tricky tolerances.
Approximate print times: White pieces: 1h 43m Black pieces: 1h 43m Black tiles: ~90 minutes total White board base: 3h 30m Total: roughly 8 hours for the full set.
Plate layout: Plate 1 – Black pieces Plate 2 – Black tiles Plate 3 – More black tiles Plate 4 – White pieces Plate 5 – White board base All plates are small, fast, and easy to run on any printer.
Most chess sets on MakerWorld are themed, oversized, multi‑material, or TPU roll‑ups. This one is intentionally the opposite: clean, compact, classic, easy to print, and friendly to every machine. It’s a practical everyday travel set with a modern, minimal look.
