If you are a fun of playing the chess game, I would like to show you how you can be able to design and 3D print your own chessboard in under 2 minutes using SelfCAD.
Let’s get started!
Drag and Drop Cube

After selecting those polygons, we need now to change the material of the selected parts.
Select material option and select cobblerstone and in the projection settings set the U tile and V tile settings to 0.1 and then click Apply and we are done. Export the chessboard as .png and you will be done!
