The game board measures approximately 38 x 38 cm and is 3 cm high.
The center is cast from epoxy resin. It consists of black and white squares, enriched with various color combinations, glitter, and stones. The black squares feature star motifs. The game is entirely handmade. German-made Dipon and Dipoxy products were used for the epoxy resin. They are completely safe and harmless.
Specially developed 3D printing materials were used for the frame. Anycubic’s PLA products were used as raw materials. They are a completely plant-based raw material and harmless to human health and the environment. The product is meticulously crafted. The plastic frame is coated with three coats of primer, three coats of brown paint, and two coats of matte varnish (top and sides) to protect it from heat, sun, and impact. Because I noticed “bumps” in the paint and epoxy coating on my first chess pieces, I used a new technique to create a smoother frame.
One set of pieces is glittery yellow, the other is glittery black.
The product is illuminated and operates on two AA batteries.
Because the product is handmade, there may be minor imperfections of a few millimeters. However, these are not serious or bothersome.

Production Story
Unlike our other chessboards, this one is the first we’ve produced without using pre-made silicone molds. Epoxy resin was cast directly onto the chessboard, which we designed using a 3D model. It was then assembled with a frame. The frame was sanded extensively with an 80-120-240-400 grid. Two coats of white primer, four coats of copper paint, and two coats of varnish were then applied. Each stage was further sanded with a yellow 800-1000-1500 grid.
