After changing a setting, you may need to click outside the text box to apply the change.</li><li>Click Design > Render and wait for the design to render</li><li>Click File > Export > Export to STL</li><li>Save the file</li></ol>You will need to repeat steps 6-8 for each part you want to export (the box and the lid) You can select between the box and lid under the Preview/Export Settings tabI suggest printing a small test box first to check the tolerance setting.<img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/07/f5/c3/dc/58/Customize01.gif"> <h4>More Info</h4><h5>Box Shape</h5>Once you've selected a shape type, check the corresponding group for the settings for that shape.The Corner Rounding and Measurement Type settings apply to all shapesCircle/Rectangle - Set the Height and Width setting Polygon - Set the number of sides and size by either side length, radius or inside radius Text - Use any font - including icon fonts (more info below) SVG - Import an SVG file (more info below) Vector - Advanced setting for users with OpenSCAD knowledge---Custom Box Shape (Text)---<ul><li>Change the Shape Type to Text</li><li>Under Text Settings (Box)<ul><li>Enter the Character you want to use (currently only single items)</li><li>Select the font (Go to Help > Font List to see installed fonts)</li><li>Set the Font size (most fonts are sized by height in MM)</li></ul></li></ul>You can use logo fonts for this also (more info below), but you may get mixed results---Custom Box Shape (SVG)---You can use a SVG file to set a custom shape. You'll need to use a file that doesn't have any holes. For example, this will work - <a href="https://iconmonstr.com/favorite-3-svg/">https://iconmonstr.com/favorite-3-svg/</a> But not this one - <a href="https://iconmonstr.com/heart-thin-svg/">https://iconmonstr.com/heart-thin-svg/</a>Some good ones to use are: <a href="https://iconmonstr.com/favorite-3-svg/">Heart</a> <a href="https://iconmonstr.com/star-3-svg/">Star</a> <a href="https://iconmonstr.com/drop-1-svg/">Tear Drop</a> <a href="https://iconmonstr.com/shape-27-svg/">What ever this thing is</a><a href="https://iconmonstr.com/">Icon Monstr</a> is a good site to find pre-made shapes in the correct formatYou can also convert images to SCAD files using sites like this one - <a href="https://convertio.co/png-svg/">https://convertio.co/png-svg/</a>You can use this to manually fill in a shape, then use the original as the lid pattern: <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/ac/cc/5c/27/70/Gamepad.png"> Once you've got the SVG file ready, put it in the same folder as the .SCAD file (from this page), then in the customizer settings:<ul><li>Change the Shape Type to Custom Shape - SVG</li><li>Under Custom Shape - SVG Settings, enter the SVG file name</li><li>Change the File Scale to set the size</li><li>If using a pattern, you might need to increase the X value under Circle/Rectanlge Settings</li></ul><h5>Sizes</h5>You can highlight parts of the model - this should be helpful for working out how all the settings change the box/lid. There is also an option to enable a preview box or STL file, so you can make sure an item fits. <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/3d/40/a2/94/64/Screenshot_2021-09-22_162711.png"> <h5>Patterns</h5>A lot of the pattern, text and logo settings are taking from my <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4837562">Fan Grill Cover Customizer</a>, so if stuck please check the instructions on that page until I fill this section out more, or ask in the comments.If using a SVG or vector for the box shape, you'll need to manually set the pattern size by using the X or Y values under Circle/Rectangle Settings <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/64/9f/3f/9a/1a/Patterns01_Small.png"> <h5>Add a Logo</h5>You can import an SVG file:<ul><li>Set the SVG file location</li><li>Set SVG Import Enable to 'yes'</li><li>Set scale, thickness, rotation, and position if needed</li></ul>Note: Setting thickness to 0 will draw a block item, anything above that will draw an outline. This usually looks better if using a pattern. The same is true for Pattern Text.<h5>Add Text</h5><ul><li>Enable Text and enter what you want under Lid - Text There are more settings under Lid - Text Options</li><li>If you want to use a different font per line, you can set this in Lid - Advance Text Options</li></ul>---Logo Fonts---Adding logos/icons is easy thanks to icon fonts - you can install any fonts to OpenSCAD.A good place to start looking is here - <a href="https://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=717&page=1">https://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=717&page=1</a>Once installed, you can go to Help > Font List (in OpenSCAD) to get the names---On Windows---Once you've downloaded one you want:Go to C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\<ul><li>Make a folder call .fonts</li></ul>If the folder doesn't exist, create it (there is a fullstop in front of the word font, don't miss it)Copy the font file into that folderIf you have OpenSCAD open, close it and re-open the file.<ul><li>Change the font Grill Text Font setting in the customizer and type the character for the logo you want.</li></ul>---Other OSes---Install the fonts normally to the system, then re-open OpenSCAD.<h5>Multi-Colour Export</h5>Use Raised/Cutout for layer-change. You can also export the invert of the pattern to use as an inlay or with a multi-colour printer.I'll add more multi-color settings soon
