Ultimate Box Generator
Please support pynej by Liking/Boosting their Print on Thingiverse.
*Version 3.10.0 updated September 5, 2024.*
_Download both files and copy/edit the template to make your boxes. The newest versions are listed first (top two files)._
Welcome to the **Ultimate Box Generator**! This is a very complex project that will as its name suggests, create boxes for you. And by boxes I mean boxes, containers, compartments with lids, boxes with many smaller compartments within them, and on and on. This tool is very powerful, but also rather complex. There are over 60 custom variables that can be tweaked with no programming experience, and the possibility of make complex inserts and boxes with varying size compartments with a bit of OpenSCAD scripting.
This project was originally inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15113 with some code from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26596. It has since been rewritten completely and grown far beyond those roots. The screenshots above are just a few examples of the myriad types of containers that can be generated with this tool.
With the 3.3.x version there is now a template file that you should copy and modify for you boxes instead of editing the variables in the box generator file directly.
This project represents hundreds of hours of coding, tinkering, and testing on my part, so please use it, share it, and feel free to drop me a tip if you like. I am still actively developing features so feel free to make suggestions in the comments.
**Note:** `mesh_do_sides_x` and `mesh_do_sides_y` where replaced. Please see the example and update as needed.
**Note:** `lid_type=0` is now `lid_type=5`.

. All parts are compatible with that and not all pieces are here, only the ones I adjusted for my needs. Cards1 - ResizedandCards2 - Resized I have my cards sleeved so I had to enlarge the card areas a bit. to accommodate sleeved cards. Note that you may need to print these a bit slower then usual and/r file the corners a bit with a small file if your printer prints the internal covers to rounded. I had some issues and have increased the sizes a bit but just settled for the Ok versions I printed. There should be space, but the tolerances are low due to limited space and to keep the boxes solid. I also added the second slot for the second turn/round marker. There is a version of this for both sleeved and unsleeved The Card1 sill hold sleeved or unsleeved cards, but Card2 won't due to the limited space. It uses friction to hold the cards so unsleeed cards need the original bin. Units - Trimmed A optional replacement that is the same model just with a chunk of material removed to save a bit of print and also add a small compartments if needed. Ships - Honycomb A honeycomb version of the ships using my box generator ( ) to save some material and have a nice look. Good & Explore - Modified A slightly modified version that has a slot for the exploration tokens if one prefers that.
