Section: SlipBox

Module: MakeBoxWithSlipoverLid()

Topics: SlipoverBox

Usage: MakeBoxWithSlipoverLid([100, 50, 10]);

Description:

Makes the inside of the slip box, this will take a second lid that slides over the outside of the box.

Inside the children of the box you can use the $inner_height , $inner_width, $inner_length = length variables to deal with the box sizes.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
size	[width, length, height] outside size of the box
foot	how big the foot should be around the bottom of the box (default 0)
size_spacing	amount of wiggle room to put into the model when making it (default m_piece_wiggle_room)
wall_height	height of the wall if not set (default height - wall_thickness2 - size_spacing2)
lid_thickness	thickness of the lid (default default_lid_thickness)
wall_thickness	thickness of the walls (default default_wall_thickness)
floor_thickness	thickness of the floor (default default_floor_thickness)
material_colour	the colour of the material in the box (default default_material_colour)
positive_only_children	the list of children to be positive only
positive_negative_children	the list of children to be positive and negative
positive_colour	colour of the postive pieces default_positive_colour
lid_catch	CATCH_NONE - no catch, CATCH_LONG - length catch, CATCH_SHORT - width catch (default
[default\_lid\_catch\_type](lids_base.scad#constant-default_lid_catch_type))

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
MakeBoxWithSlipoverLid([100, 50, 10]);

Module: SlipoverBoxLid()

Topics: SlipoverBox

Usage: SlipoverBoxLid([100, 50, 10]);

Description:

Make a box with a slip lid, a lid that slips over the outside of a box.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
size	[width, length, height] outside size of the lid
lid_thickness	thickness of the lid (default default_lid_thickness)
wall_thickness	thickness of the walls (default default_wall_thickness)
finger_hole_length	finger hole on the length side (default6 false)
finger_hole_width	finger hole on the width side (default true)
size_spacing	how much to offset the pieces by to give some wiggle room (default m_piece_wiggle_room)
foot	size of the foot on the box.
lid_rounding	how much to round the lid (default wall_thickness)
material_colour	the colour of the material in the box (default default_material_colour)
lid_catch	CATCH_NONE - no catch, CATCH_LONG - length catch, CATCH_SHORT - width catch (default
[default\_lid\_catch\_type](lids_base.scad#constant-default_lid_catch_type))

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
SlipoverBoxLid([100, 50, 10]);

Module: SlipoverBoxLidWithLabelAndCustomShape()

Topics: SlipoverBox

Usage: SlipoverBoxLidWithLabelAndCustomShape(size=[100, 50, 20], text\_str = "Frog");

Description:

Lid for a slipover box. This uses the first child as the shape for repeating on the lid.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
size	[width, length, height] outside size of the lid
text_str	the string to use for the label
lid_boundary	boundary around the outside for the lid (default 10)
layout_width	the width of the layout pieces (default default_lid_layout_width)
text_str	the string to use for the label
layout_width	the width of the layout pieces (default default_lid_layout_width)
aspect_ratio	the aspect ratio (multiple by dy) (default default_lid_aspect_ratio)
size_spacing	extra spacing to apply between pieces (default m_piece_wiggle_room)
lid_rounding	how much rounding on the edge of the lid (default wall_thickness/2)
lid_pattern_dense	if the layout is dense (default false)
lid_dense_shape_edges	the number of edges on the dense layout (default 6)
finger_hole_length	finger hole on the length side (default6 false)
finger_hole_width	finger hole on the width side (default true)
material_colour	the colour of the material in the box (default default_material_colour)
lid_catch	CATCH_NONE - no catch, CATCH_SHORT - length catch, CATCH_LONG - width catch (default
[default\_lid\_catch\_type](lids_base.scad#constant-default_lid_catch_type))
pattern_inner_control	if the pattern needs inner control (default false)
label_options	options for the label (default undef)
foot	size of the foot on the box.
lid_thickness	thickness of the lid
wall_thickness	thickness of the walls

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
SlipoverBoxLidWithLabelAndCustomShape([100, 50, 20], text_str = "Frog") {
  ShapeByType(MakeShapeObject(shape_type = SHAPE_TYPE_SUPERSHAPE, shape_thickness = 2, supershape_m1 = 12, supershape_m2 = 12,
     supershape_n1 = 1, supershape_b = 1.5, shape_width = 15));
}
