Checkers Add-On for the Magnetic Chessboard

Add-on for the Magnetic Chessboard with a set of checkers pieces and a matching storage box.

If you like my Magnetic Chessboard and also play checkers, then this is for you.

It is only 2 cm high and is attached underneath the existing storage box for the chess pieces.

There is a recess in the bottom part of the checkers pieces for a 10x3mm magnet, which can be used optionally.

Printing information

All STL files are correctly aligned.

Layer height: 0.20
Infill: 10%, checkers pieces: 100% (solely to give them more weight)
Support: none
Optional: Print pause at layer #23 (4.60mm) to insert magnets into the checkers pieces.

During printing the checkers pieces, you can insert magnets into the designated slots when you pause the print.
If you choose to do so, the magnets must be secured with super glue before you resume printing. Otherwise, the magnets will be pulled out by the metallic nozzle when the print head passes over them again. Take your time during the print pause. Your printer will wait patiently.

A tip: I always use 3DLAC spray adhesive. With it, warpring and challenging first layers are no longer a problem. Just spray a little on the print bed. One spray usually lasts for five to ten prints in my experience.

Assembly Instructions

Just follow the illustrated instructions. The sequence has worked well for me.

Legend
