Multi stackable box with a slide lid.

📦 Grid Box with Lid

A customizable grid-style storage box and lid set. You can create a multi‑compartment organizer with your preferred size, layout, and features.

✨ Features

📐 Flexible grid layout: Choose any number of rows and columns to design the compartment layout you like
🔒 Dovetail lid locking: Precise dovetail‑style grooves keep the lid firmly in place
📚 Stackable design: Stack multiple boxes to save space vertically
💧 Drainage holes: Optional drainage in each cell to prevent liquid from pooling
🎨 Highly customizable: Fine control over size, wall thickness, corner roundness, and more
🔧 Feature toggles: Turn the lid, dovetail, stacking feet, and other functions on or off as needed
📚 Stackable chamfers without a lid: When the lid is disabled, the outer bottom and top edges get matching 45° chamfers for easier stacking (chamfer size is adjustable)
👆 Box-top finger grips (optional): Add semicircular scoops on the left and right of the box’s top rim, using the same radius as the lid side grips (lid_side_grip_radius)
📝 Bottom text & emoji: Add your own text or emoji on the bottom surface (supports Noto Emoji)

🎯 Use cases

🔧 Tool storage: Sort screws, bolts, and small tools by type
🧵 Craft & sewing: Organize buttons, threads, beads, and other small parts

🚀 How to use

Set the grid: Choose grid_rows, grid_cols, and the inner size of each cell to match what you want to store.
Toggle features: Decide whether you want a lid, dovetail locking, and stacking feet, then turn those options on or off.
Tune the joints: If you use the lid, enable the dovetail and choose 3‑sided or 4‑sided depending on your preference.
Fine‑tune dimensions: Adjust wall thickness, corner radius, and drainage‑hole size to match your printer and use case.
Adjust lid fit: Use lid_fit_clearance to make the lid tighter or looser as needed.
Lid-off stacking: If you want a stack-friendly outer shape without a lid, set enable_lid = false and tune stackable_chamfer_size as needed.
Box top grips: To add scoops on the box rim (aligned with the lid grip radius), set enable_box_top_grip = true and use lid_side_grip_radius for the size.
Add bottom text & emoji: Enable enable_bottom_text, set your message in bottom_text, and (optionally) pick Noto Emoji to print emoji. Make sure floor holes are disabled when using this feature.

💡 Tips

Stacking: Turn on enable_stacking when you want to stack multiple boxes; adjust foot_orientation if needed.
Open box: If you do not need a lid, set enable_lid = false for a rimless box with 45° chamfers on the top and bottom outer edges for stacking; adjust the amount with stackable_chamfer_size.
Box rim grips: Enable enable_box_top_grip to add top-rim scoops; the radius matches lid_side_grip_radius (same as the lid side finger grips).
No dovetail: If you just want the lid to sit on top without locking, set enable_dovetail = false.
Drainage: For wet environments, keep cell_floor_hole_margin at 3mm or more to maintain strength.
Easy cleaning: A small inner_corner_radius makes cleaning corners easier.
Emoji decoration: Use Noto Emoji and your favorite emoji to turn the bottom surface into a fun label or icon area.

🎨 Example configurations

Small parts (3×3 grid)

grid_rows = 3, grid_cols = 3
cell_width = 30, cell_depth = 30, cell_height = 20
enable_lid = true, enable_dovetail = true

Long tools

grid_rows = 1, grid_cols = 4
cell_width = 80, cell_depth = 40, cell_height = 60
enable_stacking = true

Simple open box (stacking-friendly)

grid_rows = 2, grid_cols = 2
enable_lid = false
stackable_chamfer_size = 1.5 (tune to taste)
cell_floor_hole_margin = 0 (no drainage holes)

📐 Recommended print settings

Layer height: 0.2 mm
Infill: 20–30%
Supports: Usually not required (check around lid and box-top finger grip areas)
Brim: Recommended to improve bed adhesion

🔍 Highlights

Flexible layout: A parametric grid lets you adapt the box to many different use cases.
Stackable system: Feet and matching holes make vertical stacking stable and tidy.
Smart details: Drainage holes, finger grips on the lid and optional top-rim scoops on the box, and corner options are tuned for everyday use.
Lid-off stacking: Chamfered top and bottom outer edges help align stacked boxes.
Personalized bottom text & emoji: Add names, labels, or emoji icons to create a box that feels truly yours.
