Sliding Drawer

I made a sliding drawer box using Boxes.py, and re3 Netlify.

12 by 12 birch slab

Laser cutter

Computer

The first step was going to https://boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de/SlidingDrawer?language=en and grabbing a picture of all the parts.

The second step was to bring that PNG into this software to finish creating the box: https://re3.netlify.app/designer?model=gen8titan.

The criteria were to avoid waste, squeeze it into a 12 by 12, and increase its size. After Creating the perfect dimensions to fit the 12 by 12, I downloaded the file and laser cut the outlines at 90% speed and 60% power. I used 80% speed and 50% speed for the Rasterized pictures for design. High speed, lower power is really good for laser cutting images.

After laser cutting, I laid out all my pieces and assembled them to ensure they were functional.

There were many mistakes, as my first start involved me dragging to make the box bigger, which was a big fault and caused me to restart. Other than that, it was pretty smooth, and this was a good learning moment and easy, too.
