BoxKit is an open-source library of 3d printable parts for making low-cost boxes, trays, and bins.

3d printing can be a great way to make small bins and boxes, but it's not
always possible or economical for larger items.

BoxKit enables the easy creation of these types of bins using thin sheet goods
such as acrylic, plywood, or MDF panels, with small, cheap, 3d printed parts
for the corners. The corners can be secured in place with CA glue.

This is a quick, cheap, and efficient way of creating all sorts of small parts
bins.

To learn about BoxKit in the most detail, see the README on GitHub.

Better pictures and a video will be coming soon! I will be adding better documentation surrounding assembly in the coming days, too.

Flexible, Modular, and Customizable

Quickly print a set of corners that will allow you to assemble a box of any
size.

Choose a simple tray or a box with a hinged lid. Optional features include
lid latches, magnets, independent hinges, and other configurable options.

Parameters such as the thickness of the material, side length, height, hinge
configuration, and many other configuration options are available.

Modify the parameters using the OpenSCAD program.

No coding is required for changing parameters due to the Customizer, which
allows configuration through a friendly interface.

 

I have not included any default .stl files, partly because the usage will be highly specific to what you have and want to do, but I may add some good default ones in the near future. For now, you will need to use OpenSCAD to generate your own.

Thanks for looking, and I'd love your feedback on any improvements, or just let me know what you think! My contact info is available on my GitHub profile.
