Friends, behold the Succulent of Strategy! At first glance, it’s just a humble cactus. But give it a pull or a firm talking-to, and voilà! it unfolds into a full-fledged chess board,  complete with space inside for storing chess pieces (or emergency snacks). Ideal for desert duels and botanical brain battles. Warning: not responsible for poked fingers or sudden urges to shout “Check-succulent!” 

To print this you will need an AMS.

Colours

For the cactus I used the brightest green I had on hand but a more matte green would probably look even better. The model has squares on the top of the cactus body which I used the `face` painting tool to colour a contrasting colour to the main body. The pieces also have a letter on the top to show which piece is which. (P = Pawn, R = Rook etc). 

No supports are required to print this model!

The keen eyed amongst you may notice the pictures have a piece C for Castle, because I live in Simple Town where we don't use the right terms for the pieces. However, the uploaded print plates and models all use the correct R for Rook piece!
