I need to make a 6 inch round box. I was thinking of using a living hinge. I went to a couple of the box generators and i don’t see a ‘round’ box. There are some rounded corners but no round one.
Am i missing it or can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!!
You can also do segmented layers to get a really nice effect. The segments let you avoid wasting too much material on big circular cross sections. You can see what I mean in this post:
Thanks @evansd2 , i did check on Etsy and found a couple. i’m not opposed to purchasing, and, someone even posted one here in the free files, however, i’m not entirely sure how to ‘edit’ the svg to change it from i.e. a 4 inch to a 6 inch round. i know the size of the tabs have to match material, so i can’t just enlarge it…so if i enlarge to a 6inch, do i then just edit the tabs that also got enlarged back to material size or am i making it too simple? i use Inkscape primarily.
Oops, I didn’t check. I thought that was 6", it’s what I searched for.
Generally speaking yeah you’re right, but I’d try to figure out how to get the right size from the start. If you’re set on living hinges, you really want to keep them fairly tight, scaling them up will make them less “hingey”.
Thanks, i’ll keep looking…or maybe try to create my own-not proficient there but i’m sure i can figure it out . i need to start challenging myself but time always becomes an issue for me-as well as everyone else i realize.
I’m all about repurposing or using a pre-made and editing so that it’s ‘almost’ homemade:-) I LOVE that turtle closure and i saw you’d shared that so, of course it’s in my files now and i ‘will’ find a purpose for it!
Thanks again!
And don’t overlook using leather for the sides—leather makes a really nice round box. I believe there is one in the Premium designs section of the catalog.
