this tool allows you to generate boxes of any size, shape and form

UI usage tips:

• I recommend keeping all tabs closed except for the one where you're currently making changes.

• The different tolerance variables should work for most modern printers and can generally be left alone.

some extra notes:

• The nozzle diameter/line width determines the minimum size of some details for smooth slicing.

For a layer width smaller than 0.4 mm (0.2 mm nozzle), I would still recommend setting the generator to ~0.4 mm. 

• To get the best results, set the "first layer height" in your slicer to the same as the "normal" layer height.

• As long as you keep the parameters within reasonable limits, the generated geometries should be easily 3D printable.

However, it is possible to generate boxes that don't print well, especially with the complex shell type.

Generate mindfully

if you get a timeout error:

It can take a few seconds to generate a design, especially with round or complex textures.

If generation takes more than 30 seconds, the bambulab's servers aborts it.

You can avoid this issue by:

• Reducing the 'resolution' parameter.

• Choose a simpler texture, or even the 'basic' exterior type.

• Run the tool locally (see below).
 

You can download the .scad code and run it locally on your PC:

•  The Development Snapshot build (Nightly Build) of OpenSCAD is mandatory, it renders much faster, and fixes some bugs. [https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots](https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots)

• You have to install the BOSL2 library. [https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2](https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2)

• Use the "Customizer" window to adjust parameters!

• Be aware that the code is around 2500 lines long and not particularly well commented, but if you can decipher it and have any optimization suggestions DM me ;)
