Fablab Chess

I am in love with chess, so I decided to make a board by myself. It is rather small. One will prefer to play on a bigger board if play at home, but it is cool to take it, if you want to play outside.

You will need 3mm plywood and 8 magnets with 6mm diameter

I made it on 100W Laser machine

I made a 3D first, to see how it will look like

Engrave ornament and color on the figures

I set raster: S50, P30

I set: vector: S6, P80

I set: raster: S50, P30

I set: vector S6, P80

Overturn the board and engrave niches for the figures on the other side of it. We need to get 1,5 mm depth

I set: raster. S50, P60 twice

Engrave niches for the magnets on the same side. We need to get 1 mm depth

I set: raster. S50, P30

I made it not from the first try.

Thank you, Fablab77 in Russia for the laser and advices!

Welcome to use this file as the layout.

You will probably need to change settings for your laser machine.

Good luck!
