Idea: Open ended boxes

[basvdijk]

When your printer is too small to print large boxes it could be useful to generate "open ended boxes"

For example, I need a 2x6 but this doesn't fit my printer. I could then print two 2x3 with open ends

thats an awesome idea. i have several open ended boxes. but my use case is for a dynamic storage (length, corners, ...)

Created pull request https://github.com/kennetek/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad/pull/104 for first setup of this feature

Just printed a test based on this code and it fits perfectly:

@alexn-s you can already. Just grab https://github.com/basvdijk/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad/blob/feature/open-sides/gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad from my branch

Updated PR https://github.com/kennetek/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad/pull/104 which now support toggling individual sides

Added checkboxes in settings:

So you can make for example these shapes:
