The 3D printing and design process took many attempts in order for us to master the techniques. Then using computer software such as Fusion 360, we designed our own pieces to be built from the 3D printers. Using the EPICS lab 3D printer, we first downloaded online files of chess pieces and printed those. We also 3D printed multiple sets of chess pieces. We constructed the chess board from maple and mahogany 2’x1’ boards in order to fashion the alternating chess squares and surrounding border for intricacy. We designed the chess set to be comprised of a detailed wooden chess board that could fold in half and become a portable box that would store our chess pieces. Our year-long project was to design a complete home-made chess set.
