Storage Box
Files
This simple box is an easy way to get into slot and tab design. This method of designing will allow you to create complex assemblies that snap together with no more than glue. This project shows you how to get started with this design method, and shares some tips and tricks we have learned along the way.
Notes
Design considerations
Follow these 5 simple rules when designing your own slot and tab assemblies.
Tab width should be equal to material thickness + 0.010” (or more)
Inside slot width should be equal to material thickness
Outside slot width should be equal to material thickness + 0.010” (or more)
Tabs should not be closer than 2x Cutter diameter to any edge
All inside corners need to be overcut
