BoxKit: parts for making custom boxes, trays, and bins.

prusaprinters

<p>BoxKit is an open-source library of 3d printable parts for making low-cost boxes, trays, and bins.</p><p>3d printing can be a great way to make small bins and boxes, but it's not<br>always possible or economical for larger items.</p><p>BoxKit enables the easy creation of these types of bins using thin sheet goods<br>such as acrylic, plywood, or MDF panels, with small, cheap, 3d printed parts<br>for the corners. The corners can be secured in place with CA glue.</p><p>This is a quick, cheap, and efficient way of creating all sorts of small parts<br>bins.</p><p>To learn about BoxKit in the most detail, see the <a href="https://github.com/zef/BoxKit">README on GitHub</a>.</p><p>Better pictures and a video will be coming soon! I will be adding better documentation surrounding assembly in the coming days, too.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/57813/rich_content/da6fcaab-de46-4b94-ad3c-dc7780eafc4c/boxkit-part-types.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%224c3171f8-b521-4f54-9214-4119ae7fd26f%22%2C%22w%22%3A2251%2C%22h%22%3A2281%7D"></figure><h3>Flexible, Modular, and Customizable</h3><p>Quickly print a set of corners that will allow you to assemble a box of any<br>size.</p><p>Choose a simple tray or a box with a hinged lid. Optional features include<br>lid latches, magnets, independent hinges, and other configurable options.</p><p>Parameters such as the thickness of the material, side length, height, hinge<br>configuration, and many other configuration options are available.</p><p>Modify the parameters using the <a href="https://www.openscad.org">OpenSCAD</a> program.</p><p>No coding is required for changing parameters due to the Customizer, which<br>allows configuration through a friendly interface.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/57813/rich_content/03bf3cc1-7a5b-46ed-9f52-1d65a2d786e3/boxkit-customization.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22aebd249a-49d4-4766-a567-373445e0faf9%22%2C%22w%22%3A1988%2C%22h%22%3A1096%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have not included any default <code>.stl</code> files, partly because the usage will be highly specific to what you have and want to do, but I may add some good default ones in the near future. For now, you will need to use OpenSCAD to generate your own.</p><p>Thanks for looking, and I'd love your feedback on any improvements, or just let me know what you think!
