Vertical Chess

Membership

Imagine a unique twist on the classic game of chess—a vertical chess board designed to hang elegantly on any wall. This custom 3D-printed board features magnetic chess pieces that securely attach to the board, allowing for seamless gameplay without the worry of pieces falling out of place.

 

What sets this vertical chess board apart is its practicality for asynchronous play. Perfect for office environments or anywhere colleagues enjoy a slow-paced strategic game, players can make one or two moves per day at their convenience. To keep track of the game's progress, a magnetic flag is ingeniously attached to the board, indicating who made the last move.

 

This board also includes a magnetic frame where captured chess pieces can be stored. This ensures that no pieces are lost during gameplay, offering both convenience and peace of mind.

I added two profiles: one with magnet holes (requiring the purchase of round 4x2mm magnets) and one without magnet holes.
Assembly is straightforward but requires super glue. You'll need to glue the frame and the round magnets into the designated holes on the board as shown below. You will need approximately 98 of the 4x2mm magnets. Here is the Amazon link for the magnets I used: https://a.co/d/e0zGRuU

Note: In the chessboard profile, I unchecked the prime tower to fit it in the A1 mini plate. Please make sure to wash the plate to increase the adhesion and check the Flow Dynamics Calibration option to get a clean print



Note: I added a none AMS version of the chessboard. Glue will be required to glue the black part of the board with the white one as shown below:
