3D model description

Written in OpenScad, this is a fully parametric match box. It consists of an open drawer and a sleeve.
I designed with parametrization in mind. You can adjust width, length, height, drawer hole radius, wall and bottom thickness, tolerance between parts, and added a full customizable parameter for the sleeve, where you cand a custom text or graphic (via .dxf file).
Text and graphic parameter can be turned on and off. Text size can be adjusted, and .dxf file path too.
Added 4 basic .dxf graphics for you to try: smile.dxf, clip.dxf, domo.dxf and heart.dxf.
Added 3 basic printables: plain matchbox, "hello" matchbox and smile matchbox.

UPDATE 02/28/2017: I corrected some errors in the code, like the sleeve's width parameter, now has a better tolerance. I re-upload the .scad and the .stl files.

UPDATE 03/10/2017: Fixed a sleeve's width tolerance issue and made the drawer puller hole bigger. Also made text and graphics not totally hollow, in order to make sleeve easier to print. I re-upload all the files.
