This a great add on for Inkscape when comes to generating tab-ed boxes for laser cutting quickly and easy as all the hard work of calculating tab size and kerf is done for you! So grab a coffee, sit back and check this out before heading to the shop! Also check out our next video where we use this template cut out a foam cube!

Just getting started on my K40 and I find these videos are extremely helpful. Just a quick note for others that may be trying out the Boxmaker; I found that for my machine, the pieces wouldn't fit until I got the kerf size to around 0.20. (3mm ply, air assist on, 18mm ZnSe lens, 8 mm/sec@10 ma)
Thanks for the kind comments and 0.20 kerf is correct too...
Really enjoyed your video, very informative.
Thank you
Your welcome and thanks for the feedback!
Fine tutorial, man! So helpful. Thanks👍
Your welcome!
Nice and with crisp information. 😊 👍🏻
Thanks!
This helped me a lot, thank you I was making the tabs one by one before lol.
Glad it helped!

thanks for the awesome video... couple questions... i wouldlike to make a box where i can place a hinge on the top to open and close, so that one edge would not have tabs... also.. do u have videos on more elaborate boxes like one with arched legs and so on.. thanks Nick
For the tutorials I try to keep them pretty basic to share the idea and people can build upon them (as the more complicated ones get very few views). However yes you could use the box generator and then modify the results as I do that all of the time. :-)
Great tool, thanks mate!
Your welcome!
great work man....
You welcome and thank you for the kind comments!
You are my hero. Tytyty!
Thanks for the video, I can see this being very helpful but I am getting this error:
" File "boxmaker.py", line 32
def side((rx,ry),(sox,soy),(eox,eoy),tabVec,length,(dirx,diry),isTab):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax"
any ideas?
Hello very nice and helpfull video..tnx.I have 2 questions.How to make file with one segment...let say one part of the box to make them separately.And second one...how to insert some pattern inside box and equaly divide pattern from the side.Do you havae any video for this.
Sorry I don't have since this is InkScape you could edit the resulting file as you wish...
Love it..... When I created a box it is creating 2 boxes over the top of each other
Any recommendations?
Sorry have never had that happen so really can say...
Interesting. I'm now about to search for a CorelDraw extension. The alternate Tabs as the name implies has an indented tab on one side and an outdented tab on the other. The standard tabs are indented on both sides.
Come on guys. Can you do your spamming somewhere else please?
very useful extension. do you have any idea for Coreldraw Box extension ? Regards
Yes it is and not sure I understand " Coreldraw Box extension"?
I believe he is interested in a effects tool for Coreldraw that would Automatically create a box.
Thanks for the heads up Dude. TFS, G :)
No problem 👍
Hi, I want help how can I cut wood through T2Laser
Sorry what is a T2 Laser?
When I use this extension, the tabs are wider than the slots, and that seems to be the case in your video also. This was true for the parts I cut on the CNC, too. Have you experienced this?
Did you adjust for the kerf in the plugin? for laser I add at least 0.2mm to 0.3 for a loser fit...
I have been experimenting with it and I am getting a feel for the parameters. I am beginning to get an idea of how the variables work together. I am cutting with a router not a laser so it gets trickier
thank you mr
Your welcome
Does this link still work? I am receiving an error when clicking on "apply" after I've entered all the measurements.
I would suggest this one now github.com/Wallenstein61/InkScapeBoxMaker with the newest version of inkscape
Any one knwos where I can found the "laser tools extension"?
links change, would suggest googling the name...
Thanks for the informative video. There is an issue/problem. I can't figure out how to save or convert it to gcode for my Arduino/CNC Shield, GRBL laser to use.
Do you have the GCode plug in (github.com/cnc-club/gcodetools)?
I do have it installed but am having a problem with the selection and stroke to path and object to path.
Ok so you have the plug, have you tried changing the line widths?
I haven't tried that yet.
Yes line widths and types can have and effect especially if too thin....
hello, I dont understand why it is not working for me. I putted the same parameters as n your video and when I click apply I get this error msg:
File "boxmaker.py", line 32
def side((rx,ry),(sox,soy),(eox,eoy),tabVec,length,(dirx,diry),isTab):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Any support is welcome. Thx
This requires the older version of Inkscpae I think 0.92
@@DIY3DTECHcom Thx you ;)
@@DrZipZwan how did you correct this error message?
@@sansonetime as said this extension required an older version of Inkscape.
At the end, I gave up on it, cause to buggy, and instead used CorelDRAW. It is not that complicate 😉
Sir laser cutting wali machine kaha se mily ge
Your Welcome!
think you so mutch
Your welcome!
i dont think that parts are gonna fit in each other when we look at the tabs shapes... like, external are wider than internal tabs
They did this worked well for a host of materials (I have used this for form, wood and plastic)...
@@DIY3DTECHcom i have made some tests and it seems like "Kerf" and "joint clearance" need to be at 0.1 cm if you work in this unit. (I was working with a 0,3 cm thickness material)
Audio was a bit quiet on this video. Had to turn the output up to 12 to hear.
+xKatjaxPurrsx sorry about that trying out a new screen casting app and don't think it is doing the best :-(
DIY3DTECH.com oh no worries, i just wasn't sure if you were aware.
Don't work on Inkscape v 1.0 :(
Correct 0.92 only...
for free material locate any kitchen cabinet shop and ask for scraps of luwan or get permission to check the dumpster.
Are you cutting it with a laser? How are the fumes?
Did you know, that the only country in the world that is using inches and feet etc is The USA ?? And that the actual size of an inch is derived from the i s o meter ??
kind regards And thanks for the tutorial
