Snap together tabs for boxes

patrick_sheapatrick_shea Member Posts: 63 ✭✭
I am trying to build some Laser Cut snap together boxes, and looking for connection ideas.  I started, and thought I would ask, before re-inventing the wheel.  We have a 100 Watt Laser in our Makerspace, and I am tryin to find cool projects to engage new users.  The material wold be  1/8 (3mm) to 1/2 (12mm) plywood.  Ideas for everything from pencil boxes to Growler Totes.

Any input would be appreciated.

    Try looking into some custom features, that is what I would do.

    There are a couple of ways to add custom features to your tool bar:



    How to add custom features to your tool bar

    Method 1
    • Go to the document containing the custom feature
    • Click the Custom features button at the top of the screen
    • Select the feature you want







    Method 2
    • Open the custom features drop down list while inside your part studio
    • Select Add custom features
    • Select public
    • Set the filters to featurescripts only
    • Search for a specific feature and select the one you want
    Hint: If you search "Pascoe" it will show all of my custom features.
