Four Different Boxes with Sitting Lids

[jeanneleigh]

I like how the corners help frame whatever the design is on the lid. Thanks for the very generous file share!

I’m sorry to be such a noob, but the colors. What color is used for what? Obviously red looks like a cut, but I’m not sure what the blue is for?

[eflyguy]

They are both cuts (obviously, ignore the black text.)

The two colors allow you to cut the main shapes, then split the smaller parts.

[crkjelstrom]

As @eflyguy said, they are both indeed cuts. The red cuts go first, then the blue to separate the items. It takes less time and uses less space.

[ashleyn]

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much!!!

This just went up recently, it might help:

Control operations with color

This question comes up quite often. How do I get different items in my file to engrave separately? Or How do I make a line a score line? And similar other version of this. I made this video to show people how to make different color operations in there files. I hope this will help with repeat questions and help a lot of people out.

[weiss.eric803]

any way you could do a version of these for 1/4 inch woods?

Being a typical hard headed male, I punched out my gift of good measure, jumped straight into a simple photo engrave and then decided to try and make one of these (box 4) as a butter dish (due to a delightful picture I found on social media) - thanks for the design! (And yes, I forgot to set the piece markers from cut to ignore on the first print… second one came out stellar (though needed a touch with the file to snap together), many thanks for the design!

[crkjelstrom]

Glad the files could help! Each board of wood is different so sometimes you may need to edit files to have them work with a specific board. And a small amount of wood glue can always help c: have fun!

Great work - I love the lid style.

Thank you so much for sharing your files! I used them to make a gift box for some homemade candies that will be a Mother’s Day gift.

[crkjelstrom]

Love the designs you did! I’m glad my files could be of service. I, too, am making a box for mother’s day, but it’s also a gift for my dad who has his birthday that day. Quite a few years ago, my brother and I made paper swans from 1000 paper pieces for my parents. Every time they move somewhere, the swans inevitably break somewhere and I have to fix them, haha. So I want to make a box specifically for the swans C:

I love Pokemon.

[deirdrebeth]

I wasn’t asking, and I believe @bansai8creations has got it all figured out

[crkjelstrom]

More boxes made in my style.
