About this 3D model

I designed this mini magnetic travel chess set for when the wife and i go camping. Takes over 100 3mm x 2mm magnets. The chess pieces are originally designed by @Riboflavin_142148 in Printables.com. I altered the pieces to allow the magnets to insert. I designed the travel board set around his chess pieces. so this is still an original design by me. Obviously print the chess pieces and tiles in 2 different prints with opposite color profiles. I went with traditional white and black. Magnets will fit tight in the board, i used a small hammer to force them in. After magnets are set, add each tile with a small drop of glue. (takes time and patience, i know). The hinged lid has tabs to help with alignment. Again , add a small drop of glue along edges. Magnets will also fit tight in the chess pieces. no glue is needed. Just hammer them in. IMPORTANT: Make sure to keep in mind the polarity of the magnets are attracting each other before setting them or you will have to re-print each piece and body again.
