3D Print Design
The STL prints in place as one welded piece. The 3MF is a zip of separate panels for flat printing or laser cutting.
3MF preserves richer print metadata when your slicer supports it.

Examples
Laser cut in walnut plywood. The finger joints press together with no glue, and the hand holes make it easy to carry.
Material used:
Set the thickness slider to match your sheet before cutting, since every finger joint and slat is derived from it.
How To Use
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Set the size, slats and handles you want, then download the SVG or the print-ready parts with no watermark and no export limits.
Set the thickness slider to your actual sheet thickness before exporting. Every finger joint is derived from it, so a 0.2 mm error is the difference between a press fit and a rattle. Measure the sheet rather than trusting the label.
Yes. Set slat gaps to zero for solid walls. You can also keep the walls solid and turn off the carry handles for a plain finger-jointed box.
Yes. A commercial license is included, so you can sell crates made with the tool on Etsy, at craft fairs, or anywhere else. Attribution is appreciated but not required.
