Hi Guys,

Came across the little box making utility the other day and thought you may find it of use. It is just so simple it has to be good. Excellent work Rahul. http://rahulbotics.com/personal-project ... ?boxmaker/

That is pretty darn cool!

Thanks,

This has been posted before. You should be aware that it does not work all that great unless you are doing square boxes. Try doing a rectangle and things don't fit up. It has some limited use, but just don't assume it will produce a box that lines up quite as advertised.

 

I have one of those little boxes sitting on my desk!

I was at a Camp Shopbot this summer, and one of the participants uses them as CNC business cards. Cut out on a laser, each side has text about his services. Not functional, but has a cool factor.

The program works fine for any box. It just doesn't layout the parts, like you normally would expect. So people try to assemble it in sketchup and say it doesn't fit. This was brought up before that the pieces didn't fit. And I rearranged them, and they did fit. This thread: viewtopic.php?f=147&t=1169

I seem to remember that. However, I think I tried making cargo bay for one of my planes and ended up having to do a lot of manual rework to get it to fit right when it was cut out. It was more than just placement.

I haven't used it since. If it works for you, that's great. It would be a nice tool.

 

I cut these with my laser - Thus the sooty edges.
