Pictures missing
Many of the existing pictures are missing, and a lot of boxes don't have pictures or renderings. This makes it hard to figure out what the parameters do, or what the final box should look like without a lot of trial and error.
Yeah, making good pictures is difficult and a lot of work. I am especially bad at taking photos. So if you could take some and either open an PR or attach them here that would be a great help.
I took some photos, please use it at your own convenience.

PaintStorage first version, stacked and with paint cans:

Thank you very much! Added as 9a8ae19 together with some picture of the WineRack I still had somewhere.
Ok, this ticket is kinda useless unless we actually track the missing pictures. So here's a list:
- BottleStack
- DinRailBox
- Dispenser
- Display
- FillTest
- FlexBox5
- FlexTest2 - could be rendered image
- Gears
- Hook
- MakitaPowerSupply
- NemaMount
- Planetary
- PoleHook
- Pulley
- Rack*Box
- RectangularWall
- SevenSegmentClock
- SideDoorHousing
- StorageRack
- Tetris
- TriangleLamp
- WaivyKnob
- WallEdges
Thanks! See https://festi.info/boxes.py/Console?language=en for the new image!
has anyone built the rotary? it is kinda difficult to understand since there are lots of parts.
has anyone built the rotary? it is kinda difficult to understand since there are lots of parts.
Yes. But as it currently is it's not that great and should probably be improved before anyone else builds one. The contraption consists of 3 parts that are put on an aluminium profile:
At the very top of the drawing are the parts for the motor block. It has two rollers that are driven by an NEMA 23 stepper by a timing belt. The pulley for the motor itself is not included as the one I used already had one.
Below is a second block/box that is intended to hold the aluminium profile at the other end. Both of them have hooks to allow hanging the whole thing between to knifes of an knife table. This in theory saves a bit of usable height but in practice is just too much of an hassle and the hooks are too fragile anyway. So this pieces is not even needed.
The bottom half of the drawing (starting with the row of small rectangular pieces) is a scissor lift carrying to freewheeling rollers. The rollers are shown in the drawings but must be deleted before cutting. The problem is that the scissor lift is just too complicated and not rigid enough. One solution would be to just have a box with two rollers that slides on the aluminium profile and angle the whole thing instead of raising and lowering only the rollers.
The whole thing also misses a couple of features regularly found on professional rotary attachments like adjustable stops and rollers holding down the work piece.
If you want to build one I might just program some improvements. This is more likely to happen if you have an idea what features you want. Often making decisions on how things should look like are much harder than actually make them look that way. Alternatively you can just build the motor block twice and leave the rollers on the second block turning freely.
Here's a picture. I'll add it to the generator, too. It still doesn't show very clearly how the scissor lift is put together. But you really shouldn't anyway...

Thanks for the picture!
These two may also be useful, although no the best quality...
Well, still a lot better than no image at all. Added as 928e88f070ffcf14d3afc364408dfe92d99e5cb2 Will update the web instance soon. Thanks a lot!
Some shots and comments:
BayonetBox
Placing perimetral holes to insert metal wire or wood sticks would be helpful for aligning the rings when gluing them. Also I think that lugs would be more durable with rounded corners.
BasedBox
Description could mention the option to change the base margin using "edge_width" parameter in finger joint settings.
LBeam
In some cases like that, is not easy to figure what x, y and h parameters really are, so I engraved those in the corresponding sides for the picture.

Very nice pictures! Added with 563c610fd42d95496bdabded90f477f95eb47805

Done as 6dff8db710ea32a2e9a68ed749756b89c366c20a. Needed to fix RegularBox a bit to make this work on both variants.

This is still open. I will probably add some springs for the lid to click in first.

Very nice! Yes, I should rename all the dimensions at some point to meaningful names.
Hi,
here some pictures of StorageRack.
Thanks for your work.
Best regards

Maybe it'll be more useful to show all dimensions on photo or drawing, especially in generators that are not so obvious. smth like this:
Love the tool!! Here are two RoundedBox images showing different edge styles.
Default: edge_style = f Finger Joint
Alt: edge_style = h Edge (parallel Finger Joint Holes)
Some additional ShutterBox images (using the spring finger joint option and with sanded corners)
Added with d6c8d965c3a4bca7c88739774161f1ab281c44ce and cbbe8c11cc781fade7286ec323f5a93798269075
@tzwilliams : I kept the original image for the ShutterBox as it shows an un-sanded example. That's a bit of a shame as your picture is much better. But the old one fits better into the sample pictures which are all un-sanded.
Anyway, thanks for these very nice pictures!
@florianfesti, my pleasure. I agree with keeping the old pictures--I think they each show useful information. I'll try to keep contributing pics as time allows :)
Images for drillstand with some steps for assembly. Careful with the orientation of the bottom part (B), it's slightly asymmetrical.

Hi, i don't spend a lot of time doing this, so the render isn't good. I will try to make a better render, but maybe this one is useful... here is my default Drill Box, rendered in eevee, blender.

This is "assembled" upside down. The larger ridge should be at the top, to give a bit of protection to the drills. Otoh there is not much use to have this amount of space below the bottom.

Added your pictures to the description. Thanks a lot! This makes assembly a lot easier to understand. Turned out I actually had added a sample image a while a go but with the wrong name m)
