Congrats to your daughter for the impressive sale. Great start.
Thank you for the organizing tray file. Nice practical cut.

Nice design, thanks. What’s the max weight you’ve put on one so far? (Or max number of sheets?)

That’s very nice - and with the cut-out, easy enough to lift the upper ones if you need what’s in a lower one.
It also works a little like a sorting tray - put pieces in that have been cut and if they’re really small they’ll fall through to the next level

Thanks, I’ve put about 20 sheets of 1/8 in a tray, but I haven’t tried limits.

haha. Yeah, you’re right. It also can act as a drying rack for some parts if you like.

Nice design. I’m not sure you’ll find it practical as you continue to collect materials over time (if all of my materials were stacked in one pile, I’d never be able to access anything!), but I could find lots of other uses for trays like that.

I think if I make the legs a bit taller, it would work better. Then I wouldn’t have to unstack to access materials.

I’ve never heard of Deepnest. Are you referring to https://deepnest.io/? That looks like a good tool to have in ones toolbelt. I’ve always done my layouts and part arrangement by hand.

Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. It’s a real nice layout optimization tool.

I hadn’t heard of Deepnest. With a quick look at it, I’m sure it will be very useful. Thanks for mentioning it.

Nice practical cut. Deepnest is a great tool to have. I have used it several times.

How awesome for your daughter to make a sell like that! And thank you for sharing the box. Looks very practical and handy for all sorts (no pun intended) of things!

That could work. I don’t have the biggest stash, but stacked it would easily top 6 feet.

Just be aware that unless they changed something, deepnest has a habit of changing measurements slightly. It’s very slight, but important if you need your measurements to be spot on.

Really? Did not know that. How much does it change? These are tight fit parts, and it seems to work well. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t remember the change between Inkscape and the deepnest output, since it’s been a couple years since I tried (like I said, it could’ve changed since then), but I remember deepnest made everything slightly larger.
I was using it to try and nest some items for a client that does dollhouse miniatures, and everything was slightly too big, like a millimeter or so, nothing I could tell just by looking-but it was a huge difference for her.

Nice project and congratulations on the sale.
Needed a reminder on that MDF as well, my box has gotten rather thin.

I need a new storage system - my wood has been warping.
