The design is of a wall-mounted chess set with a 12x12 play area, with an overall size of the one-piece chessboard and frame is 12.7 x 12.7. As a result, a 3D printer with a 330x330 mm print bed is required. The chessboard, backplate, frame, and 32 black squares with small shelves are all one printed piece. The 32 white squares/shelves are each printed separately and glued in place using gel-type instant adhesive (super glue gel).

As the chessboard is relatively light, ours was mounted to the wall using four 3M picture hanging strips, one in each corner. Screw mounting holes have been incorporated into the back of the board for screw mounting to a wall if desired.

The piece designs are also included with the files. Because they are so small and have a lot of fine detail, a stereolithography printer (SLA), also known as a resin printer, was used to produce the pieces shown in the pictures. A quality fused filament printer with 0.2mm nozzles will also work.

Also included in the design files is a suitable storage box for the small pieces and the last move marker. The box length matches the chessboard width, so it looks good if you decide to wall-mount it below the board. I couldn't decide on a color for the sliding doors on the box, so I made several in different colors to switch them out periodically.
