About the FlipTop generator
FlipTop puts the hinge on the left and right walls, so the lid flips open sideways. Add the divider and you get two compartments for a deck of cards, tools or jewellery.
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
Two raised tongues on the side walls carry the pivot holes; the lid has teeth cut into its left and right edges that lock into them. The divider slots into the base plate and reaches the lid line, so it also supports the lid.
Tips for a clean cut
Measure your sheet with calipers before you cut: material sold as 3 mm is often a little thicker or thinner, and that changes how tight the joints feel. Enter the kerf you measured on your own machine. If the first box is too tight or too loose, adjust the kerf in small steps and test again on scrap.
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.
