🚀 How to use

1. Set the grid: Choose grid_rows, grid_cols, and the inner size of each cell to match what you want to store.
2. Toggle features: Decide whether you want a lid, dovetail locking, and stacking feet, then turn those options on or off.
3. Tune the joints: If you use the lid, enable the dovetail and choose 3‑sided or 4‑sided depending on your preference.
4. Fine‑tune dimensions: Adjust wall thickness, corner radius, and drainage‑hole size to match your printer and use case.
5. Adjust lid fit: Use lid_fit_clearance to make the lid tighter or looser as needed.
6. Lid-off stacking: If you want a stack-friendly outer shape without a lid, set enable_lid = false and tune stackable_chamfer_size as needed.
7. Box top grips: To add scoops on the box rim (aligned with the lid grip radius), set enable_box_top_grip = true and use lid_side_grip_radius for the size.
8. Add bottom text & emoji: Enable enable_bottom_text, set your message in bottom_text, and (optionally) pick Noto Emoji to print emoji. Make sure floor holes are disabled when using this feature.

💡 Tips

• Stacking: Turn on enable_stacking when you want to stack multiple boxes; adjust foot_orientation if needed.
• Open box: If you do not need a lid, set enable_lid = false for a rimless box with 45° chamfers on the top and bottom outer edges for stacking; adjust the amount with stackable_chamfer_size.
• Box rim grips: Enable enable_box_top_grip to add top-rim scoops; the radius matches lid_side_grip_radius (same as the lid side finger grips).
• No dovetail: If you just want the lid to sit on top without locking, set enable_dovetail = false.
• Drainage: For wet environments, keep cell_floor_hole_margin at 3mm or more to maintain strength.
• Easy cleaning: A small inner_corner_radius makes cleaning corners easier.
• Emoji decoration: Use Noto Emoji and your favorite emoji to turn the bottom surface into a fun label or icon area.

🎨 Example configurations

Small parts (3×3 grid)

• grid_rows = 3, grid_cols = 3
• cell_width = 30, cell_depth = 30, cell_height = 20
• enable_lid = true, enable_dovetail = true

Long tools

• grid_rows = 1, grid_cols = 4
• cell_width = 80, cell_depth = 40, cell_height = 60
• enable_stacking = true

Simple open box (stacking-friendly)

• grid_rows = 2, grid_cols = 2
• enable_lid = false
• stackable_chamfer_size = 1.5 (tune to taste)
• cell_floor_hole_margin = 0 (no drainage holes)

📐 Recommended print settings

• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• Infill: 20–30%
• Supports: Usually not required (check around lid and box-top finger grip areas)
• Brim: Recommended to improve bed adhesion

🔍 Highlights

1. Precise dovetail locking: The lid locks onto the box securely to avoid accidental opening.
2. Flexible layout: A parametric grid lets you adapt the box to many different use cases.
3. Stackable system: Feet and matching holes make vertical stacking stable and tidy.
4. Smart details: Drainage holes, finger grips on the lid and optional top-rim scoops on the box, and corner options are tuned for everyday use.
5. Lid-off stacking: Chamfered top and bottom outer edges help align stacked boxes.
6. Personalized bottom text & emoji: Add names, labels, or emoji icons to create a box that feels truly yours.
