8x12 Courier Chessboard in 4ths

This is a four-piece 8x12 checkered grid of 30mm squares, for playing the extra-wide and extra-fun game of Courier Chess. If 30mm squares are too small for you, then consider my Executive-size Modular Chessboard (with 45mm squares) or Martin_au's Tournament-size Modular Chessboard. I'm also considering making a 6-piece remix of this design, with 45mm squares.

Print 4 quadrants, 1 backing, and 4 feet. Each quadrant is a multi-material print, in which the checkered pattern is printed face-down with alternating colors and infill angles.

Join the quadrants with the backing (centered among the quadrants) and some glue. Glue the feet to the back, near the corners.

Those feet, of the same thickness as the backing, are intended to level the board. I don't want it to wobble.

You'll need two 24-piece Courier Chess armies to play. One way to get them is to print both of the following models:

• Chessmen in Spiral Vase Mode

• Courier Chess Expansion Set

• Courier Chess Set - Historically Accurate
