Parametric box

thingiverse

Humans are engineered to be crafted from plywood with a laser beam. However, they can also be manufactured in various ways: Print out on paper, then glue them onto plywood and cut around the lines. Print small versions on a 3D printer. # Recommendations I have created a box that was laser-cut from plywood with a positive tolerance of 0.3. This setting results in gaps appearing, requiring glue to hold parts together, and the assembly process becomes quite tricky. I strongly advise reducing the tolerance to 0.1 or even lower. # Display Modes: There are multiple display modes available: mode = "assembled" Walls and floors are arranged into a box configuration. mode = "unfolded" Walls are laid flat. mode = "optimized" Walls are laid flat, arranged to minimize waste. **mode = "projection"** Same as optimized but with an added projection for DXF export. # Parameters: Width, length, height parameters represent the outer dimensions of the box. Thickness is the thickness of the material used. Tolerance is subtracted from the width of the teeth; a negative value indicates a tighter fit. teethW, teethL, teethH - number of teeth along width, length and height. slitPresent - whether to add a slit for handling or not. slitR - handle slit rounding radius. slitL - length of the slit. slitThickness - thickness of the remaining material. chamferR - rounding radius of top corners; 0 disables this feature.
