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)
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: 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)

wall_thickness	thickness of the walls (default default_wall_thickness)
floor_thickness	thickness of the floor (default default_floor_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(100, 50, 20, text\_str = "Frog");

lid_thickness	thickness of the lid (default default_lid_thickness)
size_sizeing	amount of wiggle room between pieces (default m_piece_wiggle_room)
text_str	the string to use for the label
text_length	the length of the text to use (defaults to 3/4 of length/width)

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))

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
SlipoverBoxLidWithLabelAndCustomShape(100, 50, 20, text_str = "Frog") {
  ShapeByType(shape_type = SHAPE_TYPE_SUPERSHAPE, shape_thickness = 2, supershape_m1 = 12, supershape_m2 = 12,
