Advent Calender Laser Cut Card Boxes

thingiverse

I've crafted this advent calendar with a mission to provide a healthier alternative to sweets and chocolate. The sturdy paper boxes, measuring 5x5x8 cm, are designed to accommodate an array of treats, such as fresh fruits, crunchy nuts, small toys, puzzles, tea bags, and more. Thingiverse is a treasure trove of inspiration, and this particular design was laser cut from 3mm MDF and vibrant thin cardboard (or perhaps thick paper?). The kerf is set at 0.1mm, ensuring precise cuts. Due to time constraints, I opted to omit the two roof plates, but cardboxes are remarkably easy and fun to fold, thanks to pre-scored lines that don't require cutting – simply score them with 3% laser power on our Lasersaur. The Fusion 360 model is included, allowing you to modify its size as desired. A special thank you goes out to the Ruiz brothers for their exceptional tutorials, which have been a valuable resource in my creative journey.
