A chess set laser cut out of acrylic with free templates.
This laser cut acrylic chess set was made by peter_ on Thingiverse and he generously provided the templates for anyone to use or modify.
Instructions
Place the grid pieces on a 12×12 inch ~4.5mm sheet of acrylic in an 8×8 grid for the chess board itself. Because the acrylic glue can leave bubbles between pieces, I just left these unglued and loose. I like this a lot more, and makes it look a lot more haphazard and visually interesting.
105 Amazing Laser Cutter Projects And Ideas To Inspire You
Ever wonder what the ultimate list of laser cutter projects & ideas looks like?
Using two of your favorite colours, cut out two sets of chess pieces and grid squares. Depending on your cut quality, the chess pieces may press-fit together (though hopefully not too tight, or they may crack), or you may have to use a little acrylic glue to seal them together.
See other examples of laser cut chess sets here and here, and then try making your own with Ponoko.

Talking about contests and 10 day challenges… when is Ponoko having another one? It’s been eons since the last one.

I’m not sure. I’ll look into it.
I’m sorry about the delay Jon. I asked around and there are a few contests in the works, but there are no official starting dates yet. Stay tuned to the blog for announcements.
