<h2>Features<a class="headerlink" href="#features" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Boxes.py generates SVG images that can be viewed directly in a web browser but also
|
|
postscript and - with pstoedit as external helper - other vector formats
|
|
including dxf, plt (aka hpgl) and gcode.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>Finger Joints are the work horse of the library. They allow 90° 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 included generators.</p>
|
|
<p>Dovetail joints can be used to join pieces in the same plane.</p>
|
|
<p>Flex cuts allows bending and stretching the material in one direction. This
|
|
is used for rounded edges and living hinges.</p>
