Parametric Boxes with Random Decorations

thingiverse

Parameters for boxes are defined by number of sides (3 through 12), length of a side, height of the box, and thickness of walls. Sides can be decorated with random placement of triangular holes on a hexagonal grid. Each box can be made unique. Five sample boxes and lids are provided along with OpenSCAD code that generated them. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Notes: Lids print best standing on an edge. Decorating the Boxes: One parameter controls number of random triangular holes in each face of boxes. This parameter can be zero, resulting in no decoration. It can also be a small positive integer; more holes are created with larger integers. The base of a sample hexagonal box was not decorated; its parameters were 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 while lid's parameter was 16. For the square box and lid, all parameters except for the base were greater than or equal to 12, giving faces with most possible space taken up by triangular holes.
