- Boxes․py is written in Python 3
Boxes․py comes with a growing set of ready-to-use, fully parametrized generators. See https://florianfesti.github.io/boxes/html/generators.html for the full list.
Features
Of course the library and the generators allow selecting the "thickness"
of the material used and automatically adjusts lengths and width of
joining fingers and other elements.
The "burn" parameter compensates for the material removed by the laser. This
allows fine tuning the gaps between joins up to the point where plywood
can be press fitted even without any glue.
Finger Joints are the work horse of the library. They allow edges
and T connections. Their size is scaled up with the material
"thickness" to maintain the same appearance. The library also allows
putting holes and slots for screws (bed bolts) into finger joints,
although this is currently not supported for the available generators.
Dovetail joints can be used to join pieces in the same plane.
Flex allows bending and stretching the material in one direction. This
is used for rounded edges and living hinges.
Documentation
I'm having problems designing universal box in Firefox browser. Every time I generate a project I receive this message
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid
response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /boxes.py/UniversalBox.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) Server at www.festi.info Port 443
I have tried different settings in parameters, cleared the cache in Firefox and restarted the browser, but still have the same message appear. This doesn't happen if I am using Safari (which I am NOT a fan of).
All of the other design options appear to work correctly.
I also should add that this problem has only recently appeared with Firefox. I have used the universal design in the past with no problems at all.
