Who can’t have enough boxes? I wanted one with rounded corners so I created the corner pieces that I could 3D print on my resin printer and attach to the box walls. I super glued the corner pieces to the walls along with the base. It includes a two piece form-fitted lid.
The corner pieces are 45mm high, but could be increased or decreased as desired.

Thanks for the share.
Wow. I love melding my 3D printers and the Glowforge together. I’m about ready to post a topic on a big project using both. You in fact have offered a solution to a problem that I have been thinking about. What other kinds of side construction is available than something that is just tabbed box joints.
I was just about ready to start design living hinge corner for a project so as to replace full 3D printed sides. Now you post this. A good way to simplify things and make assembly easier. Nice job.
Nice. Of course you can also go full laser…
Maybe a bit more fiddly to assemble, but faster to print!
Thanks, I do like the full laser from a simplicity aspect, but not a fan of the banding effect of the individual pieces.
Glad to hear that it gave you some ideas. Looking forward to seeing your completed project.
if you line up/sand something like that well and do it with hardwood, the banding will be much more subtle (depending on the wood). i’ve done multi-layer with walnut and it’s not immediately obvious.
These 3d printed corners are cool.
For example:
And for a pure laser different solution:
Yeah, you either have to paint over it or lean all the way in, as @evansd2 so nicely illustrated.
You can also cover it…
My thing with layers is I am a messy gluer and even with alignment pins, it’s a mess. Maybe if I did more of them it would go faster.
just means more sanding (and more sandpaper).
I often use a small paintbrush to apply glue to my layers, and wipe whatever small squeeze-out up as I go. Some of my sword handles have 90+ layers, you use only as much glue as you need, and there’s not a ton to clean as you go.
That’s beautiful - and the transparency of the edges of the 3D printed corners almost makes it look like you carefully poured resin into each corner and let it settle!
Can’t help but laugh…my instant read of that word was lawyers. 
That last one was the first thought that came to my mind. That only works with hardwood, not plywood, right? (I think so but only feeling about 90% sure. lol)
I’ve done it with MDF, so plywood should work. The trick is finding the right depth and spacing for the bend cuts.
I bet it would work with wood-core ply like BB. The tricky part is the water method for softening the wood - most plywoods don’t react well to water, especially mdf core (like proofgrade).
Prefinished woods won’t like it either.
(like proofgrade)
Oooo, I really like this. I’m always up for anything that replaces finger joint, of which I’m not a fan. Thanks for the STL.
