    Thank you for sharing the website. The runtime on my laser was 3 minutes 51 seconds. I used 5 mm Revolution Plywood which runs $25.78 for a 4'X8' sheet at Lowes. Surprisingly there is a shortage of 3mm plywood which I ordered a week ago and expect delivery sometime next week. The note holder box went together in 5 minutes. Looking forward to your next project! 😀

      Nice work Kent! I usually get mine from a local cabinet maker now. He gets 5x10' sheets of 3mm, 3 ply _Birch "veneer"_ as he calls it. High quality stuff, and his price, including ripping it into 12x12" squares is about 5% cheaper than the big box stores.

I actually filled in the tabs one by one now I know I can just choose zero. Thank you for explaining that selection. I know you know this already your videos are very helpful to anyone who takes the time to watch them. Thank you for all your work showing each of your videos. I am certain it takes lots of your time and equally your patience.

      Did you put in the exact thickness of the wood you were using? This is usually where folks go wrong. You have to actually measure it with a caliper to get the correct thickness. The seller may advertise 3mm wood, but that's a nominal measurement. It could be anywhere from 2.7 to 3.2mm.

    I want to make a perfect cube with a lid on top. I hope they have something like that. I tried your tabs and slots video last night but I realized after a couple of tries that they need to be placed in a certain pattern with certain offsets to make all the pieces fit right. I'll try that website but I'd like also like to know how to design them straight from lightburn. I think I figured out how to get the sides in a perfect square but I think the tabs or slots on top and bottom need to be offset to make the bottom and the lid fit OR I need to just make two sides shorter than the other two sides by the thickness of the wood to avoid ending up with a rectangle. Yeah I guess if I want my tabs to chase around the cube the ones on the bottom and top need to be offset so the lid and bottom fit and lid and bottom would need to have offset tabs and slots as well. I'm new to lightburn so have to figure out how to offset them if I try that. I guess it has to be offset the thickness of the wood. It's a bit of a puzzle. Maybe I'll learn something from this new site you made yours from.

    Hello dear Hobby Gut. Thank you very much for your videos. These serve as great tutorials for me as I am a novice to laser cutting. My machine is a Sculpfun S9 and I use Lightburn. Creating boxes is of great interest for me so I have checked some of the Box Design programs, incl. Boxes.PY. There, in the intro., under Q&A, I read a question about laser cut parts being off the measurements and the editors explain, in their answer, that some programs/editors do not copy measurements correctly and that SVG and DXF fall into this category. So, as I am looking for a suitable Box Designer program to adopt for my hobby, my question to you, if I may, is: what experience do you have with Boxes.PY and/or any other Box Design program, in the reliability aspect and in light of that Q & A ? I have made a box with Make a Box.IO which came out OK, but I wish to create more complex boxes that offered there. Thank you. Emanuel
