Miniature/Travel Checkers Set

Welcome to my instructable, my name is Phillip I am a beginner to 3d printing but have been doing 3d modeling for a while. I am a Student at Western High School. I have printed a Miniature and Travel Checkers Board. I will go through how to download and preparation to this print. To create this print, I did all of the designing on Fusion 360.

I chose to print a checkers board because when you go on vacations or trips and want to play checkers you can just use a miniature board that is easy to play.

Supplies

  1. 3d Printer
  2. 0.4 mm nozzle
  3. 2 PLA Colors

Download and Slice

Download the files attached and put into a slicer of your choice. I used Cura Ultimaker but any slicer will work. Set infill at 20% and send to your printer.

Print the Parts

I printed the parts on my Ender 3 v2. You will need to print the chips 2 times. Each time in a different color because you will need two for each person. The board will take about 4 and a half hours to print. Each set of chips will take about 45 minutes to print.

Finalize Everything

Once everything is done printing you can file it down if needed but other than that you are all done. The chips will print one side blank and the other side with a K. The K is used to symbolize that piece is "Kinged". Now time to enjoy mini checkers
