# Customizable cabinet cutout box - Author: *Ruben Coolen* - Date: *February 16th 2021* - Current version: *1.1* # Update 1.1 - February 17th 2021 - Added an option **fitting type** to choose a different fitting type: clamps (snap-fit). The clamps may not tighten your box very tightly due to different wood panel thicknesses. - Added an option **add edge** to add an extra 5 mm around the edges to cover any imperfections in the jigsaw hole of the wood panel. # Description This is a box made to extend a part of the back wall of a cabinet. This can be used for instance to allow for more travel for a heated 3D printer bed. Normal supports are needed for the 4 screw plates of the box. The lid doesn't need supports. **The photographs shown on this page are from a previous version without an inner shim and without nut catches.** # Pre-customized STL's There's some pre-customized STL's available: - Width x height: 100mm, depth 50mm, **no** nut catch - Width x height: 100mm, depth 50mm, **M3** nut catch - Width x height: 100mm, depth 50mm, **M4** nut catch - Width x height: 100mm, depth 50mm, **M5** nut catch - Width x height: 100mm, depth 50mm, **M6** nut catch # Customizable settings ### Render settings 1.
