About the BoxRound generator
BoxRound makes a round box from sixteen straight wall segments instead of bent ply. The segments follow the circle closely enough that the box reads as round, and it stacks and ships flat.
What you can adjust
Outside or inside measurements, so the box fits the space — or the contents.
Material thickness from presets or a custom value, plus your machine's kerf.
Finger joints or flat, glued edges, with a target tooth width you can change.
A 3D preview you can spin, and a flat cutting plan with every panel named.
How it goes together
Each segment is held by tabs in the round base and lid plates. Because the segments are straight, the outer seams open by about 0.2 mm per joint — glue the ring together while the base is in place to keep it true.
Tips for a clean cut
On 3 mm ply, sixteen segments give a clean circle. Use 20 or more segments only on very large diameters; short segments become fiddly to glue.
Frequently asked questions
Can I work in inches or centimeters?
Yes. Switch between mm, cm and inches at the top of the panel. Material thickness and kerf are always entered in millimeters.
Which file formats can I download?
SVG, PDF and DXF — all at 1:1 scale, in millimeters. AI files read the SVG or DXF straight into Illustrator.
What does the “Try other dimensions” button do?
It fills in a different set of measurements so you can see how the design changes before you enter your own.
