Customizable Box with Finger Joints

thingiverse

Customizable box with finger joints for a 2D cutter This Thing has been largely replaced by the Finger Joint Library. The new library is more flexible and much easier to manipulate. To create a valid DXF or SVG you MUST download the SCAD file and open it in OpenSCAD. The Thingiverse Customizer will not deal with this object as it is a purely 2D shape. See the INSTRUCTIONS for more information on how to use this.P.S. If you like my designs and make something, I'd love to hear about it. I enjoy sharing the designs, and I really enjoy hearing about what you made of and with them Instructions TL;DR: Download, set your X, Y, Z dimensions, material thickness and finger width. We'll do the rest! To create a DXF that is usable with your laser cutter do the following: Download Open in OpenSCAD Adjust the dimensions as needed (see the variables below) Render the box in 2D mode (F6) Choose File > Export > Export as DXF Open the file in your favorite laser cutting suite! Variables ======= [Outside Dimensions] bX = Width bY = Depth bZ = Height thick = Material Thickness [Box Features] addLid = 0/1 true/false HoleDia = Diameter of hole in lid (set to 0 for no hole) HoleFacets = Number of line segments for the hole [Finger Width] FingerW = Finger Cut Width FingerLidW = Finger Cut Width on Lid (allows for a different size on lid) [Layout] separation = amount to separate the 2D pieces alpha = transparency of 3D model (no bearing on final product) 2D = 0/1 true/false - create a 2D or 3D model (2D for cutting, 3D for visualization) Notes: The finger width must be < 1/3 the shortest edge.
