Thank you for the response. However since I do not have a complex clamping system I loose a inch or two in the Y and X. So is it possible to separate the lid from the bottom instead of just disabling one path? Plus, what does the x1.5 mean in the last C2D?
I only ask this because I have a 1/8 inch bit and 1/16 inch bit.
1½ inches — the double prime symble — ″ indicates inches.
Is there a way to separate the base from the top though?
Yes, the parts are separate.
If you make a box please share it with the forum so we can all see the amazing design you made come to life.
Just wanted to point out a problem in the gcode. The second side does not have a second slot. Can you please fix this.
Oh. I don’t know then.
I’m sorry. Great design.
Is there any way I can just do that side? Because I just made myself a box with a side that doesn’t have the second slot because of my error.
Sure! Just delete everything you don’t need and cut only that — the slot could easily be added by just clamping the part and running a quick pass, or do it with hand tools.
Note that the sides are symmetric. If you have a file which will cut one side, it can be changed to the other by flipping horizontally:

if anyone has any feedback or corrections or thoughts I’d be glad of it.
Revisiting this with a 1.5" x 8" x 1.5" version intended as a pencil box — the previous version has moved to:

and this new one is at the original link:

and then modified a copy of the Carbide Create file using the new v5 beta arranging things so that they could be cut from a single board in a single operation (requires an XL or XXL):

For folks with the older version here is an SVG:
The file cuts fine (made a minor revision):
and it glued up nicely:
