Portable Chess Board

I have no printer to demonstrate, that’s why I made a typewritten manual to explain it.

Materials needed:

160pcs of 6mmx2mm neodymium magnets, super glue (5 to 10 grams), 3D filament PLA,( colors: black, white, beige, and red), metal rods( 4mm diameter x 100mm)

Chess Board Description:

This chess game is different from traditional ones; it is not only portable but also cute and features an anti-gravity design. It comes with two boxes: one for storing the pieces and the other for gameplay and instructions. The game instructions can be found on

Manual for Building

Items to Buy:

1. 160 pcs of 6x2 mm neodymium magnets
2. 10 pcs of metal rods (4mm diameter and 100mm length)
3. 5–10 grams of super glue

Slicer Settings:

1. Layer Height: 0.2mm (Standard balance of speed and clean detail).
2. Infill: 15% to 20%, Gyroid or Grid pattern.
3. Wall / Perimeter Loops: 3 walls (ensures the borders and joints are strong).
4. Top Solid Layers: 4 to 5 layers (prevents gaps or pillowing on the flat squares).
5. Initial Layer Horizontal Expansion: -0.15mm (stops bottom-edge squish so pieces and tiles fit together).
6. Ironing: Topmost surface only, 10% to 15% flow rate.

Multi-Colored Chess Pieces:

First, gather the 32 chess pieces(black(32pcs) and white(32pcs)) and the magnets. Then, glue one magnet to the bottom of each piece.

Chess Box:

Align the two box halves and push your pin through the open end of the hinge tube until it bottoms out against the built-in endpoint cap. This securely locks the pin in place and prevents it from sliding out the other side. Next, open the box and glue 128 magnets into the small 2 mm circular slots inside the trays (64 magnets in the top tray and 64 magnets in the bottom tray) to secure the chess pieces while playing.

Chess Pieces Storage:

Align the two box halves and push your pin through the open end of the hinge tube until it bottoms out against the built-in endpoint cap, securely locking the pin in place and preventing it from sliding out the other side. Once the box is done, simply close the case and press the lid down until the integrated latch snaps into place to secure your chess pieces.

Additional Notes:

I have no printer to demonstrate, that’s why I made a typewritten manual to explain it.
