For the box design I just used http://www.makercase.com/ to help me generating the template. The dimensions of the box I made is 10x10x10 cm.

Note:

  • Make sure to select the right materiel thickness.
  • To add the patterns to each side of the box I just this website and downloaded the shape I liked.
  • Using inkscape I copied and pasted the shape to each side of the box.
  • Attached with this step the design I made.

After cutting all the part by the laser cutter, I used the glue gun to glue all the faces together. Using paper tape will help you a lot during assembly.
