No problem — there's likely a public-library makerspace near you with a laser cutter. Many let you use the machines free with a library card; you just pay for materials.
Finger-jointed flat-pack box panels — exports laser-ready SVG packed for efficient material use. No signup.
Designer Bee's free laser-cut box generator produces finger-jointed flat-pack panels you can assemble without glue. Set length, width, and height; pick a material thickness; tune the finger width; toggle the lid on or off. Export a single SVG with all panels packed for efficient material use, cut lines in red, ready for LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, Glowforge, LaserGRBL, or any laser software — entirely in your browser, no signup.
A single flat SVG with all six panels (or five if no lid) packed for efficient material use. Cut lines are red strokes by default; finger joints are sized to your chosen material thickness so panels self-align without glue. Open in LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, LaserGRBL, or Glowforge — most laser software treats different colors as different operations.
3mm plywood or MDF is the sweet spot for a sturdy, friction-fit box on most diode and CO2 lasers. The finger-joint geometry is computed from the thickness slider, so set it to the actual measured thickness of your sheet (often 2.7mm for nominal 3mm ply) — accuracy matters more than the round number.
Friction alone holds the box together for assembly and dry-fitting. For permanent use, dab wood glue along the inside of each finger joint before the final tap-together. The kerf compensation is conservative, so if the fit is too tight, increase the finger width slightly or sand the joints lightly.
