Design Your Own Chess Set

Design Your Own Chess Set

Design your own chess set completely from scratch! From the pieces to the board - everything is designed with TinkerCAD and made on the 3D printer. A creative project for advanced designers.

You can find a template for a chess set with peg-and-hole mounts (travel chess, where the pieces stay in place…) here: TinkerCAD chess pieces & board
