Create a Box in Any Shape with LuBan3D

[@RyanMercer]

Nice.

[@whatsup3d]

That is very cool, I'm in the middle of making Gridfinity trays for a bunch of stuff and this is perfect in extrusion mode for making the cutouts.

[@craigcorbin4098]

@whatsup3d I would love to know if you come up with a good workflow, to get gridfinity on the bottom, and negative space for the contents on top, using this tool.

Man Luban keeps getting more powerful!

[@glenncol]

This rocks, thank you

[@lujiechen2334]

Thank you so much ❤

Merci pour l’information et le travail de présentation.

[@3DRevolution]

You're very welcome

[@simhoney72]

Thank you ! Really nice and interesting video

[@radish6691]

Perfect for custom coffins, given a large enough printer or small enough decedent. 🙃

[@goilo888]

Mickey the rodent?

[@rhadiem]

You can slice models into smaller pieces with the software too, so.... go nuts. :)

[@whitecanegamer]

@@rhadiem You can do the same with a body. I mean, probably.

[@kk-pz8gn]

i wonder if there is an option or way to make a hinge lid on a box? thanks in advance

[@3DRevolution]

There isn't currently a way to do that in Luban3D (that I'm aware of), but I posted another video a few weeks ago about a free tool that allows you to generate 3D printable boxes with hinged lids and closing latch in any custom size you want. You just don't get the creative control of shape of lool that you get with these LuBan ones.

Creating the calliper box, how does Luban know the dimensions of the tool?

[@3DRevolution]

The image you provide will let it know the shape and relative dimensions between everything. As I show in this video, if you're making a box for something to fit perfectly inside it, in LuBan, select 'Inner Size' and then define the length or width based on what your tool actually is. Allow a little tollerance, and the other axis should set automatically, then you'll want to set the internal height as well.

[@sadraon8157]

Hey, what kind of calipers you have there? Link?

[@bentebrunsvelt319]

Verry good i lik it🎉🎉

[@BrianJordan-l8f]

Thanks for this. I downloaded the software to investigate box making and was immediately intrigued by the possibilities offered by this program as set out in the "Hello Luban' pdf; in particular the lithophane section which seems very comprehensive. Have you investigated these other areas of the program? B

[@3DRevolution]

I've done a few videsos on various features within LuBan3D, including the really cool image to Lenticular function which I love (you can find that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roetiaZ3qdiEpZY). I haven't yet covered the lithophane one but I will be covering more in the future.

[@BrianJordan-l8f]

@@3DRevolution Sorry I missed that - it would have saved me from wasting your time. Off to experiment now... B

[@3DRevolution]

@@BrianJordan-l8f Absolutely no reason to apologize, happy to help, and always a pleasure to chat to you all. Have fun!

[@nielsaxelsson]

Would it be possible to make the bottom of the boz Gridfinity compatible, so that the boxes for tools could live in a Gridfinity drawer?

[@truey90s]

Just add the gridfinity base in the slicer

[@nielsaxelsson]

@@truey90s Thanks - still new to this, so don't know all the tricks yet! I'll figure that out for sure 😄

[@truey90s]

@nielsaxelsson same here. I've only just got into 3d printing in the last couple of months .

[@davidmeyer9204]

Thank You! But your link goes to the wrong app

[@3DRevolution]

Ah woops, sorry about that, thanks for letting me know. The scurge of the copy/paste misshap. I've updated the description but for convenience, here you go: www.luban3d.com/

[@cuthwulf]

This would be much easier in Fusion

[@3DRevolution]

It would absolutely be easy and possible in Fusion providing you already have prior knowledge, but even then, if you wanted a like for like model, I'm not sure Fusion would be actively easier or simpler than this.

[@radish6691]

Uh, yeah… 1. Become proficient in a professional CAD/CAM software package 2. Leave comments on non-Fusion videos about how much easier {topic_of_video} is in Fusion 3. Feel superior because you dunked on users of {other_tool}. Yeah, [man,woman], you showed them! You’re the [king|queen]! 4. Make bespoke box in Fusion 5. Continue to make no positive contributions to community? goto 2 : end;

[@phreshxmetal]

Fusion and onshape are both free and easy to use once you've spent 30 minutes watching some tutorials on YT....​@@radish6691

[@rhadiem]

It would be even better in Solidworks. ;) Much more accessible here though.
