Just want to share the board game I made for my GF :)

My lovely Ukranian/Belarusian GF teaches refugee kids here in Norway, and she uses a lot of different games to do it.

She uses a Norwegian board game to teach them words, which looks like this:

But there was no equivalent in Ukranian. So she used AI to create a Ukranian board, and printed it out on a rather sad looking sheet paper:

I thought this was unfitting for a woman of her caliber, so I decided to make her a 3D-printed one: Слово за тобою (The Word is Yours)

 This is how it turned out:

I found a free SVG with a Ukranian pattern that I learned how to extrude into the bottom. Yellow and blue of course! She is a big sucker for patterns.

Kids love Pokemons, so I used pokemon figures from this model as pieces: [https://www.printables.com/model/30224-pokemon-chess-set/files](https://www.printables.com/model/30224-pokemon-chess-set/files)

Observant readers will also see that I moved the letters a little to secretly spell our names meeting in the last letter.

We went through a really rough time, so I wanted to do something special for her. She cried, and said "You really do love me" 😅🥺

It is the model I am the most proud of :) Especially being able to fit everything together in the box perfectly, with the figures and everything. The game is super popular in her classes - and all the other language teachers envy her \^\_\^

I am an amateur in Fusion, so I also learned A LOT:  
\* How to split objects and make them fit into each other  
\* How to make a lid that fits (but I think I will try a hinged lid next time using the Prusa tutorial)  
\* How to import and extrude an SVG into the object  
\* Not to create lots of different heights on the squares to make it look cool

So satisfying:

And what I learned about printing:  
\* Let big parts cool down before taking them off, or they will warp to be unusable!  
\* Set Top Contact Z Distance to 0.4 for the support material. It was hell to remove at 0.2.  
\* Leave the XL ventilated, or it will overheat from all the tool changing =)
