Summary

This was inspired by Miklbr's box and seeks to do some of the same things with more end-user customizability. It doesn't have the trays for base cards, but you can name and size your own slots, configure the size and depths of the slots (so there's no reason why you can't use it with games other than Dominion, say), and control other details of the box's dimensions.

The label-making is a pretty ugly hack, I'm afraid. There are three different versions of itnone of them wholly satisfactory. One form (the labeledBox() module) prints the labels directly on the side of the box, which will require tons of fussy support and probably not come out very good. Another option is labelPlate(), which produces a separate plate to be glued onto the box; on my printer, even this one produced unacceptably lousy text, but maybe someone else can get it to work. The last method requires cut-and-paste of SCAD output. If the LaTeXLabels() module is executed by OpenSCAD, it'll produce a great deal of TikZ code in the console which can be copied and pasted into the attached .tex template (shaving off the "ECHO: " and quotation marks) to make your own labels. If you're not at all familiar with LaTeX and TikZ, then this probably reads like so much nonsense and you might want to hotrod your own labels or figure out a way to make one of the two previous methods work. If there's a good alternative output format people would like (one that's feasible output from OpenSCAD's crude echo() command), let me know and I can add the functionality.

Oh, also, if you want Dominion-style price tags (which the template is currently set up to do) in the LaTeX output, you'll need to install the Dominion Symbols font and use XeLaTeX. If you don't want to use them, remove lines 4 and 5 from boxtemplate.tex, and every reference to the "dominion" command from the code.
