* hello.scad! :)
* It is possible to use this generator in two ways:
* - Simply, generate boxes (see [1])
* - Include this file to generate boxes in other SCAD files (see [2])
*
* [1] Generate boxes
* Uncomment one of the three following lines: */

// Small example for a box width inner size 60x60x30, wall size 4, wall-sized overlap and a small notch:
generate_box(60, 60, 30, 4, 4, 5, 2);

/* Some explanations to the parameters:
* === OVERLAP_Z ===
* The size of the inner overlap size
* Set OVERLAP_Z to 0 to deactivate the overlap area at all.
* In most cases, it should be enough to set it to WALLSIZE.

* Idea behind the notch: you can secure the box lid with e.g. a rubber band
