A hardware hacker says they spent the weekend 3D-printing a chess set and “vibe designing” it with an AI mechanical engineer.
The post is mostly a showcase of the finished object: a clean, two-tone printed chess board with custom geometric pieces. It’s a lightweight but concrete example of AI-assisted hardware design rather than a generic progress update.
