Parametric box with hinged lid - rzigzagto

thingiverse

Parametric box with lid written in Postscript Set your size, materialthickness, offground height, lid lip, zigzagwidth and tabwidth. The postscript is written so for minimal cut length and assembly without glue. The program is not yet perfect sometimes errors can be found in the tabs. Just erase some tabs in illustrator or adjust the tabwidth. This my first proper postscript program, written from scratch but I learned all from models on thingiverse. The zigzag nodes are based on the idea found at: http://blog.ponoko.com/2008/11/03/how-to-create-better-nodes/ Just copy the function in your own design. About Postscript: Postscript can be edited in a text editor. The same file can be opened in illustrator, and other design programs. Update v1_1: hinge hole was misplaced and too small (Now the right version is on Thingiverse) Update v2_1: option to stack cutting an arc in the bottom part of the sides.
