Viking Chess "Forest Vs Concrete" Remix

I made two new versions of my viking chess for a new laser I bought: the S1 from Xtool! I scaled down the first version (the pawns, the board and the storage box) I made to be able to fit on the laser bed. I also designed a new theme for the game: forest against concrete. The rule of the game are the same, but in this version, the attackers are the buildings and the defenders are the trees, the king is a sequoia!

Supplies

Machines:

any laser that can cut through 3mm plywood (mine is a 40W)

Materials:

3mm plywood
paints and brush
white wood glue

Context

I bought a Xtool S1 laser cutter for my project to make a mobile Game/Fab Lab in a cargo bike! I did this remix of my first version of viking chess to fit in the laser and made some modification to the storage box.

2D CAD With Inkscape

Pawns and board design:

I used again Inkscape, a free 2D software to make my own designs for the trees and the buildings.

Viking art for the wood layers on the side of the box:

I used the designs from Jonas Lau Markussen website, great documentation and viking art!

Inside of the box:

I used MakerCase to generate a box with dividers that I slightly modified to hold all the pawns and be able to pull off the top of the case.

Nesting With Deepnest

I used the open source software deepnest.io to optimize the cutting and save wood!

Laser Cutting

I used the Xtool software " Xtool Creative Space "to program the cutting on the Xtool S1. You may need to resize and reorganize the components depending on your laser size.
