Why no parametric boxes with hinged or snap lids? #69

Description

@daviddoria

I have scoured the internet and concluded that a parametric F3D model for a gridfinity-compatible box with a lid that will stay closed does not exist. I find this quite perplexing! Before I make one, can anyone explain why this might be the case (or point me in the direction of one if I missed it)?

Thanks!

    There are already a few, but not with gridfinity compatible bottom. Maybe no one really needed that combination or thought about it? I guess these would be a good starting point if you want to make something

    @spitfire Did you mean to post a link?

    I did not, but I did see/print some parametric boxes with lids/hinges/etc. I guess people haven't really made these is because they didn't have much need for covering boxes that were mostly on their desks, and because with a lid it's probably harder to make it stackable and look nice at the same time. I would definitely find some use for something like that though.
