I really liked Chappel's box design and the videos he made.

However, i didn't like the strange size of his original design, so I set to create a perfectly square box in metric system.

I also wanted to have different heights (for small o very few items) and make them stackable.

I figured it was also a good way to learn OpenSCAD, and here is the result.

It took me a while and in the meantime Chappel made some improvements to his original design and so did Niptrion.

While this is was created from scratch, I took ideas and concepts from both of them so thanks to both!

This is still a work in progress, and will be posting updates in the future.

This is my first time using openSCAD and my first time creating a customizer (so, i'm not even sure it will work in Thingiverse)

What is Done:

• parametric design will create boxes depending on your needs:
• XCount / YCount: number of units one each dimension
• width: size of the box unit (default 50 mm) this is the size of each "building block".

currently each building block is a perfect square.

a 1x1 will be 50mm x 50mm a 2x1 will be 100mm x 50mm

This also controls de size of the Grid the boxes sit on.

• height: Height of the box (default 25mm)
• thickness: wall thickness (default 2mm)
• radius: radius of the curvature (default 4mm). Actual share will be elongated in order to improve printing (to avoid supports)

Pending:

• Handle/Label holder inside the box (will be lower than the edge to allow stacking
• lid in case i need it.
• Grid to mate the boxes to.

P.S.: for some reason, Thingiverse does not allows me to mark this as a remix of 4160638 and 4460654 (it does not find the items). will try again later

How I Designed This

First time using OpenSCAD, so lots of experimentation
