This is a chessboard hinged box that I designed myself because I couldn't find anything like it on Thingiverse. The pieces store on the inside of the box and the box opens up to be the chessboard. It is customizable so you can fit it to your print bed. I made it as wide as I could for my Flashforge Dreamer. You print the box twice and then they fit together at the hinge. The STL for the chessboard is 224mm square, making the chessboard squares 28mm square.
In customizer you give the boxLength and the chessboard squares will be 1/8 of the boxLength so you will know what size the chess piece bases should be to fit the squares.
I did the second color with dual extrusion. Combine the second color chessboard2.stl with the chessbox.stl if you have dual extruders. Make sure to line up the STLs by checking the chessboard from the bottom of the model. The center post for the hinge is a piece of filament. *** I do not recommend scaling the model as then the filament may not fit i
