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
width	outside width of the box
height	outside height 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)

Example 1:

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

Module: SlipoverBoxLid()

Topics: SlipoverBox

Usage: SlipBoxLid(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
width	width of the lid (outside width)
length	of the lid (outside length)
height	height of the lid (outside height)
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)
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)

Example 1:

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

Module: SlipoverLidWithLabelAndCustomShape()

Topics: SlipoverBox

Usage: SlipoverLidWithLabelAndCustomShape(100, 50, 20, text\_width = 70, text\_height = 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
width	outside width of the box
length	outside length of the box
lid_boundary	boundary around the outside for the lid (default 10)
lid_thickness	thickness of the lid (default default_lid_thickness)
size_sizeing	amount of wiggle room between pieces (default m_piece_wiggle_room)
label_radius	radius of the label corners (default 5)
label_border	border of the item (default 2)
label_offset	offset in from the edge for the label (default 4)
label_rotated	if the label is rotated (default false)
layout_width	the width of the layout pieces (default default_lid_layout_width)
shape_width	width of the shape (default default_lid_shape_width)
shape_thickness	how wide the pieces are (default default_lid_shape_thickness)
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)

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
SlipoverLidWithLabelAndCustomShape(100, 50, 20, text_width = 70, text_height = 20, text_str = "Frog") {
  ShapeByType(shape_type = SHAPE_TYPE_SUPERSHAPE, shape_thickness = 2, supershape_m1 = 12, supershape_m2 = 12,
     supershape_n1 = 1, supershape_b = 1.5, shape_width = 15);
}

Topics: SlipoverBox

Usage: SlipoverLidWithLabel(20, 100, 10, text\_width = 50, text\_height = 20, text\_str = "Marmoset", shape\_type =

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
SlipoverLidWithLabel(20, 100, 10, text_width = 50, text_height = 20, text_str = "Marmoset",
   shape_type = SHAPE_TYPE_CIRCLE, layout_width = 10, shape_width = 14, label_rotated = true);
