I've recently gained access to a laser cutter and have used it to make cases for some of my projects.
I found the existing tools on the internet were very limited in the boxes they could create, or required almost everything to me done manually.
I decided to write my own program to help me create boxes and was then encouraged by a colleague to make it available publicly.
In its current form it accepts requests by email and returns cutting profiles that can be used to drive a laser cutter.
If you're interested you can send an email to [email protected] and it will reply with instructions detailing how you can create the box of your dreams.
It's entirely free, but I do request that if you feel a desire to express any thanks you send a donation to my local hackerspace who have been very helpful in assisting me with my various laser projects.
At the moment the program is a very early version, and whilst entirely usable, will probably be subject to numerous changes. Most of the recent changes have been to the help file that you get when you sent a request to the email address above. If you're sufficiently interested and want to make suggestions for improvements or suggest things that are not described well, please either do it here or email the address given in the help file.
If you don't have access to a laser cutter, maybe it's time to check out your local hackerspace(s) and check out what they have
