This is a remix/addendum to the Collapsible Chessboard I made (Please see the original design for more details). The basic premise is the same (pieces fit together to make a board that can fold up to be more portable), but I realized a lot of style can be added by making designs on the pieces and varying the colors. The combinations are basically limitless.
I made a whole bunch of different designs for everyone to play with, and uploaded some renderings showing how much it changes the look of the board. All the pieces are basic shapes cut out of the squares, so these shouldn't be any harder to print than a blank square from my original design.
There are 3 different types of squares: Edge, Corner, and Middle. These are exactly what they sound like and the only difference is how many sides have hinge connections.
For each color you will need the following:
-2 Corner
-12 Edge
-18 Middle
If you want to mix designs or anything it makes the numbers a little more complicated but it's pretty easy to figure out.
I've found making batches of 6 works out pretty well for the squares, and for the hinges I started printing batches of a dozen and even up to 48. The key with the hinges was printing on a raft, it really helped the quality of the entire batch on my printer.
Please see the original design for full instructions.
Any ideas for different designs, let me know or feel free to remix your own!
