Help With toolboxes

MXAlastair124 — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 13:52:16 GMT

I have tried about 10 different ways to create these toolboxes in a way that can be folded. I am not the greatest when it comes to CAD i am new but can do alright with what i need it for. Hoping i can get some much needed help here, let me know if you need more info. i want to get it to a flat pattern so i can have it laser cut and folded. I Also need to design a door for it aswell but need to get the toolbox itself sorted first. Thanks

it makes it much more annoying but i am also trying to make everything projected from a base of the top side so that way i can make it longer if i need to for other projects

Hi! This could have been done much more easily by leveraging surface modeling technique. Please take a look at the attached part. You may edit the Thicken1 and Thicken2 features so to change how the part will unfold.

Many thanks!
