3D model description

An adapter that can make a smaller box fit in a bigger box protector. If you have a box (like a game collectible, or anything square) and want to store it in a plastic box protector that is too big, print this!

The model is customizable to fit any box protector and any box. You can add your own measurements for both the outer box (box protector) and the inner box (the actual game box).

I have added sizes for the following game boxes*:
- DOOM post order box
- DOOM Ultimate
- DOOM 2
- DOOM Sigil
- Descent 2
- Fade To Black
- Everquest
* Be careful: your box may vary, so be sure to measure it first!

And the following outer boxes:
- SNES Big Box
- Gamegear Console
- PC Big box.

Note on fitting the model in the printer
Rotate it 45 degrees around the vertical axis if it doesn't fit.

Note on supports
If you print the model "as-is", you will need to use support. Using 1% Concentric support and printing it with the feet touching the plate (so support is on the bottom) worked best for me.
If you don't want to print support, change either the sliceT and sliceW values in the OpenSCAD file to false. This will slice the model into pieces (and add a small hole for you to add a shaft into, to better connect the parts together after printing).
