This is a simplified chess set with a portable carrying case. Pieces and board is designed to be fitted with magnets to securely transport and keep pieces on the board. The game board is designed to be small yet comfortable to play. The game board is 200mm x 200mm but can easily be scaled up as needed.

I designed the pieces to be a modern take on Staunton yet follow the overall curves while still being easily identifiable. The base of the design is from a design by Andrés Morelli who made a concept for Pagani Automobil. This board has magnets in every square and piece so make sure you check the polarity of every piece and board so it attaches correctly.

Design Notes:

• Neodymium Magnets: Holes are made to accommodate 6mm diameter x 2mm tall disc (Warning - These things are crazy powerful and can shatter if they collide)
• Felt for bottom of the game board so the entire thing can roll up and lay flat on a table.

Print Settings:

• Pieces do not need support with exception of the Knight. Pawns may require a brim if you have poor bed adhesion.
• Rolling Box: The included model is for those who do not have multi-material capability, checkerboard side up. (If you have multi-material, printing with checkerboard on bottom may give you a better surface finish)

Sources of Inspiration:

• Roll up design I was inspired from some of the leather chess sets but I wanted something more rigid like this:
• And finally for the chess piece base I found this design by Andrés Morelli who made a concept for Pagani Automobili. I especially love the Knight design so I modeled it to resemble this look. Too often you will find modern chess pieces to look very pleasing but have a knight that completely clashes with the aesthetic.Andrés Morelli's chess piece design
