This is a remix of Chess Board thing by TwistedDaylight.  I liked the design and I thought it could be easier to print and would be more substantial.

I had a few issues with getting it all to fit.  I had to resize the yellow tiles so they would fit in the board sections.  Then after printing two part 1's and the first part 2 of the board I realized they didn't fit together.  I didn't want to scrap the whole thing so I set about resizing the tabs on part 2 of the board so it would fit after printing without any sanding or cutting of the parts.  To do this I created a small section (the cut copy) that I used to get the right size.  Then I printed two new part 2 sections and finally got it all to fit.

So here is what I recommend:  You might want to print a calibration cube before you start to check your printer.

1. Print part 1.

2. Print a tile to make sure it fits and resize as necessary (can scale X & Y in slicer but leave Z alone).

3. print the small test piece (cut copy).  If it fits you are in business.  If not get out your 3D modeling program and resize the tabs slightly.

I glued the tiles on, but if you do, DO NOT glue the ones next to the tabs or they won't go together.
