This is a parametric openscad script that will generate a tile. The tile has notches in it that will mesh with other copies of the tile. This will allow you to print out and assemble a rectilinear box of any size/shape. (with the adhesive of your choice)

Particularly useful if you want to make a box that's too big to fit inside the build volume of your printer.

while you can just print out the components of a box, you can also use some of the optional sections of the code to add functional features to the tiles.

1) A button. Basically, this feature allows you to weaken a particular area so that when you press on it the plastic deforms and presses a button inside.

2) Cips. You can add little clips to the tips of some of the notches so that instead of being a solid box it can have a lid that easily attaches and detaches.

3) A platform. The clips need a bit of clearance to work properly, so the bottom of the box (that's mounted to something) should be raised up off of the m
