- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Make your one-of-a-kind DIY pencil case with a rolling top - today! People just love it, which makes it the perfect gift idea for yourself and others.
I cut the parts out of 3.5mm plywood on my 10W xTool D1 (a budget friendly laser cutter).
Extra details, instructions and free files can be found in the companion instructable (free & no login required):

Kerf is built in to the files, so don't add more in Lightburn w/e software you use

Great design for dvd storage!
Thanks! Great design! 💕💕💕
Glad you liked it! And thanks for your support! :)
Looks great. A really neat and useful project. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! :) Thanks for the kind feedback
Great project and well done video, thank you.
Thanks for stopping by and for the kind comment :)
just completed the box, Thank you for the references.
awesome!:)
congratulation man
this is good
You could adapt that to hold 3/4 etched shot glasses. Great gift.
That's a really good idea! Maybe keep one of the top corners square instead of rounded corners like I use, so that they can store it standing up?
@@nixmakes I don't know how much stability that would have.🤷♂ I was thinking a shelf with holes for the shot glasses. Maybe 2 tabs on either side to hold it. You could put the Jack Daniel's or Jim Beam logo on the side. OK, I'm gonna make one of these. 😁
@@jakerazmataz852 you meant using the roll top box just for packaging purposes? that's so much effort, nice of you!
about the shelf with holes that sounds awesome 😎if you make one, I'd love to see it! you gave me an idea to make some sort of a a peg board for the kitchen (just thinking out load here). I can't think of a reason why my kitchen shouldn't look more like my workshop with tools ready for work 🙃
@@nixmakes No. Use it to store the shot glasses. I thought if you wanted to make it really fancy, you could cover the "self" with green or red felt. The glasses would fit nice and snug. I only got my laser a few months ago and everywhere I look I see inspiration.
A workshop stye kitchen would be great. I don't know if they have industrial look apts. in Israel. That's where a commercial bld. is turned into apts. The ceiling is open and you can see the ductwork and plumbing. It's painted. I like it.🤷♂
@@jakerazmataz852 I know what you mean, I wish I had time to make all the stuff I want to :) We don't have those commercial buildings here, but I've seen it abroad. Maybe I'll talk my wife into building our home that way 😉
Very Nice - thank you!
Glad you liked it! And thanks for the kind comment! :)
Nice Execution bro, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the nice feedback! Glad you liked it :)
@@nixmakes can I ask you about the software that turn 2d lines into that 3d shape other than the onshape?
@@Mustafalshaikh I'm actually using OnShape almost exclusively, it's a browser based software so I can use it anywhere, including my budget laptop. You might be referring to 0:51 ? I captured that using full-screen mode (F11) on my browser and minimizing the Features and parts tab.

thx ! i have a question: The box settings so how does it work ? what engine? Can you explain to me
I'm not sure I understand the question, so let me know if this doesn't answer what you had in mind:
To create this design I used boxes.py, it's a useful python package with a few writers working on it (mainly Florian Festi). Florian made a website to allow people to make boxes online without any coding needed, but when you set the parameters for your box it defines the parameters to be used by the python functions behind the scene. Basically, you can think of simple math rules to create boxes and jointing, and then users can play with the different parameters to make whatever they like.
I hope that made sense :)
Recently i buyed sculpfun 10 laser i used 3mm plywood i have faced problem in cuttings it due to its resin or glue it took so many passes to get through. Can u guide me to right plywood
When I got my laser I bought whatever plywood I could find, and had exactly the same issues. The problem is usually with the glue they use between the layers.
Try buying birch or poplar, they are usually better for laser cutting. The wood itself is suitable for laser cutting, and they often use proper glue for it. Also, try looking for a Facebook group with people who laser cut and are from your region, and ask them for their suppliers.
Suitable wood is often more expensive than just random plywood, but your time is so much more expensive, and if you try buying the cheapest material you could find, it's likely that you'll end up throwing it away eventually. Hope it helps! Let me know if you have more questions.
Great Video, Ive made mine but its a little bit squeeky do you know what i did wrong?
Thanks :) The shutter is probably rubbing against the sides, so I'd say it's one of 3 things: 1) some sanding is needed. 2) some wax / oil would fix it (easiest fix). 3) maybe the plywood you're using is a bit curved, and it pushes against the shutter? I had a box making funny sounds too, and I fixed it with some sanding and wax. Hope that helps! let me know if you need anything else :)
What's the best wood to make those flex parts?
I really like birch or poplar wood, but it's going to work well with most types of wood :) most wood can flex much more than needed for this project. You can run a flex test first, but it's pretty similar to the part itself, so I'd just try and see!
Any chance you put the lightburn file or SVG file with the tutorial?
It's all available in the instructable, but if you're having trouble let me know (notice that the files already include a kerf offset, so don't add any more in lightburn! if you need a file without kerf correction, let me know).
do you sell the precut pieces or sell the completed roll top pencil cases?
Hi, I don't do this to make a profit, so the short answer is no :) but if can't make your own, you're welcome to contact me through my website and we'll work something out - either I send it to you at minimal cost (again, I do not want to make a profit from hobby!) or give you the contact info of people who asked me to sell it.
Just printed it on my xtool D1. and XCS. The only pieces that fit are the long side pieces to the bottom. The small side posts don't come close to fitting. I used the 3MM plan. Seems like the holes are way too small for the notches. What did I do wrong?
Sounds like you used kerf within lightburn in addition to the kerf I already included in the files. Could that be the case? If you don't think that's the problem, contact me via my website and we'll get it sorted :)
@@nixmakes I don’t have Lightburn. Just downloaded it to xtool Creative Space. I’ll download again. I have a Xtool D1 also
I just made it using 3mm files. Made No changes to your file as you said it includes kerning. Too tight. Will have to do a lot of hand filing to get it to work.
@@kathynewey156 Hi, thanks for the comment! Would a file without kerf be helpful? Sorry it didn't fit right from the start! Since publishing this video I heard several people having problem with the kerf, so I've been sharing files without a kerf offset ever since. Let me know if I can help :)
Or is it me being a beginner. Maybe there is something automatically happening in Lightburn. I just imported the file, checked the cut speed and set it going.
What kind of oil did you use on the rails?
I think it was teak oil, but it really doesn't make that much of a difference. I've been using candle wax recently, and I like that more than oil. By the way, I added an update to the instructable with an important area that you should sand before assembly. It's not mandatory but very helpful. I can't update the video, but check out the update in section 5 over there.
How did you get a 3D model for it?
Thanks for the question. Actually, I made a model using OnShape, but then I found boxes.py and used it instead. Boxes.py does not create a 3D model at all. It's 100% 2D. I hope that helps :)
Is it just me or does the interior bottom not fit? The overall spacing of the joints doesn’t match.
Hi :)
Lots of people showed me their version, so it should work! The most common problem is people setting a kerf offset in lightburn as well as in the files I shared (or in boxes.py).
Feel free to contact me via my website with pictures and I'll do my best to help!

Made me waste material, I used 3mm material and the 3,2mm file and nothing fits...The wholes are too small,
Sorry you had a bad experience! Several people shared their 'I Made It' on instructables so I guess I'm not the only one it worked for. Note that I shared two files - for 3mm and 4mm, and that I had to use a rubber hammer to connect the parts. One solution to your problem would be to use the 'resize slots' option in lightburn (it's an awesome new feature, I might make a video about it soon). If you're having trouble and you want to make this box, feel free to contact me via my website nirlivne.com and I'll be happy to help with new files or whatever you need :)
I am having the same issue with finger slots in the bottom being too small for the fingers on the side pieces to fit in.
@@alansetzer2484 I'm guessing you're the same Alan who contacted me through my website ? :) In that case, we solved the mystery! If not, feel free to contact me
@@nixmakes Thank you for the help! The problem was solved. The mistake I was making was I was adding kerf on the design and had the kerf setting in LightBurn, once I removed the kerf setting in LightBurn the boxes fit together like a charm. I have even made bigger size boxes to store small tools.
