Summary
I liked the concept of Heikki_Hietala but I wanted to hide the plugs.
In the same idea as I needed to resize them, I made it customizable.
Provided STLs are 30mm sides.

Edit 02/2017
I added a tolerance value for the "pegs" in the customizer and a test part (I should have do it much earlier...sorry)

do you have a downlodable stl for all of the cheicters also, i noticed on your page there is the orb for the pawn but i did not see anything els?
Wondering if one can make inner corners with these for interesting shaped boards?
Hi just wondering do these pieces fit in the box at 100% or 75% scaling like the chess peices?
Hello.
100% scaled Chessboard for :
-100% box
-75% chess pieces
-and 75% marbles
Is this the size of a standard Chess Board? If not then any pieces printed on this website will be useless on this without scaling either them or this.
Those STLs are 30mm square. If you want an other size use the customizer, this is made for this reason.
Ahh, that makes sense, thanks for the hasty reply.
Be carreful the Box is not a customizer.... :/
Just got done printing the entire board at .15, am I missing something or do the pieces simply not snap together at all? Seems like they are suppose to line up pretty good, but cant seem to get any of them to line up and snap in. Didn't change the scale at all, printed the default files for each piece.
Though there are small gaps on 3 axis, I am sorry to read that. You should try to adjust the flow to make parts fit.
Take a look a those tutos :

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:342198
Then just print the corners or only 2 parts to test if it fit together
Thanks for the quick reply 1sPiRe, I will check those calibration prints out. I just assumed that I wouldnt have an issue, I have done gears in the past. Unfortunate that I just noticed the not fitting after I had printed the entire board :-(. I mean it is close, but just not quite there, debating best way to make them fit.
Any ideas?
File the edges slightly?
I just checked the STLs and there is 0.2mm gap everywere.
Don't file the edges but maybe the inner edges of the plugs...
Mines clip into each other by slightly pushing them on a table.
Thank you!
I used E-sun blue and purple glass PLA for marbles, and unknow cheap fake gold and silver PLA for chess board and set.
do you have the files for the chess pieces (i would like to download them)

I also uploaded the marbles to insert into pawn's arms : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1763598
It looks like I need 37mm for the default size Alien Chess set? Is that right?
Actually i printed the alien chess set at 75%...which needed a 30mm tile chess board. So I would guess that 37m is a minimum size.
The king has the widest base so take it as reference.
