3D model description
At just over 4 inches in size, this neat little game set includes both the classic chess and checkers games! All 56 game pieces (32 for chess and 24 for checkers) fit on the board at the same time so you can just put the cover on and take both games anywhere and play anytime. I've included color 3mf files as well for the board and chess game pieces. For single color printers, I've included a separate square top that fits inside the existing squares to create a dual color board. Enjoy and as always let me know if you have any questions, suggestions or improvements.
Complete package with 3D printing instructions & detailed game playing rules.

Tips & Settings:
No special printing requirements or s needed.
I recommend printing the chess pieces in the “0.12mm Fine” preset in Bambu Studio due to the small size of the details.
If using a single color printer, print the “Board (Plain)” single color version file, then also print the “Square Top” file (x32 pieces) in a different color and insert them into the squares on the board, 1 space apart from each other. This will create the dual color chess/checkers board. I recommend printing the “Square Top” file in the “0.12mm Fine” preset due to the small size.
