That specific post was:
and as noted, the box was written up at:
Not sure why the link isn’t working:

but I put it on CutRocket:

and wrote about it at:
(which has a different BlockSCAD link which also isn’t working)
All of the above was in the way of an apprenticeship in learning and working through the pros and cons of various approaches and limitations of older versions of Carbide Create.
Unless there is an objection, I will pull out the posts asking after box-making techniques and put together a master-class on box-making.
As noted, it should all come down to a set of parameters/characteristics:
- overall box dimensions
- stock thickness (after all machining — one option might be to machine down the inner surfaces)
- box features, e.g., type of lid, possibly hardware
and will require a specific set of endmills:
- a large 90 degree V tool able to cut a bit more than half-way through the final part thickness
- a narrow square tool for cutting the interior box joints and the narrow channel in-between the parts
- a narrow 90 degree V tool either the same diameter, or slightly greater than the diameter of the narrow square tool (a pair of 3mm square and 3.175mm has worked well)
Folks should feel free to post here about the boxes which they wish to make as well as the features which they want and I’ll work up instructions/files to suit.
