Recently started needing a place to store end-mils so I designed this box.

It was also a chance to test dual extrusion with the new MakerWare 2.0.

NOTE: if you go for dualstrusion you will need the font from: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22730

The OpenSCAD is customizable for the size of your endmils, how many rows of end mills you want, how many end mills per row, spacing, height, etc.

To lighten the load I print with 2 shells at 5% fill. Less plastic for the fill I believe helps prevent warping and layer separation on something with long runs like this.

A 3x8 box like this takes almost six hours to print for the top and bottom each.

You need to generate the files by uncommenting each three lines for each part at the end of the file:

Specifically:
top();
box_top_label();
bottom();

You will likely want to set the label to be something besides "Scanner's end mills".
You can also comment out the place where the label is drawn in 'top()' and not worry about dualstrusion.

NOTE: This uses the font from: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22730 -- you can simply comment out the 'use' statement for this font and comment out the calls to 'labe()' in the openscad code to skip this.
