autobox - Making fingerjointed project boxes automatically

It's kindda the tenth time I have to make a custom box for a project out of plywood with my CNC. The process I follow is - Design the box in QCAD: This involves doing all the rotations and translations, and then the verifications so every finger falls into place. - Pass the file to CAMbam or dxf2gcode and there configure all the machining stuff - Finally cut it with my grbl-powered CNC and UGS. Only when finish I realize that I forgot to add clearance between fingers. NOT AGAIN! For this task I created autobox, its open source code ( https://github.com/debuti/autobox ) and you are more than welcome to improve it. And I have a live app ( http://autobx.herokuapp.com/ ), so you can create your boxes online, and maybe, who knows, use jscut.org to create your GCODE Enjoy it
