Dragon cliff chess board - magnetic slot squares
UPDATE April 2019: It was brought to my attention that Decoframe 2, 3 and 4 all had multiple pieces in them - sorry about that! That's what happens when you flip stuff in Cura and try to export it :p I have now uploaded fixed files where one file is only one corner. Sorry for any grief this caused. Furthermore, after reflecting on the checkered board part, I have a few notes. First of all, the caps fit into the slots perfectly - theoretically speaking. However, at least in PLA the tension of the perfect click and hold fit of the caps will eventually put tension on the entire board and by the end make it difficult to get the caps in. This means that you need to either plan where you put caps to get even tension while working(unlike end to end like I did), or you can scale down the caps ever so slightly(maybe 99% or 99.5%?) to just take a little bit of the tension off. This is untested as my board is done and looks ok. If you do scale down, I'd love to hear how that went and if you needed to use glue to keep the caps in :D THE DECORATIVE FRAME has now been printed! :) Everything fits absolutely perfectly. And without patting myself too much on the back, it looks great! There is an issue with the actual chess board itself though - if you print it as is in PLA, there is a very real risk that the corners will start to curl downwards when you put the caps on because it's so thin and the tension pulls on it. You need to make a choice how to deal with that. 1: I made the decorative frames with an empty middle to save quite a lot of filament, but if you add material to that middle again so it has a full, flat surface you can then glue the slot board onto, that should keep it flat even with tension from the caps. This is untested though. 2: Glue the slot board onto a flat surface you KNOW won't warp from a little tension - glass, metal or a hard wooden plate. Just make it slightly smaller than the board so it can still fit into the frame, and not too t
