Question 1

Is the Crate Generator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set the size, slats and handles you want, then download the SVG or the print-ready parts with no watermark and no export limits.

Question 2

How do I make sure the finger joints fit my material?

Accepted Answer

Set the thickness slider to your actual sheet thickness before exporting. Every finger joint is derived from it, so a 0.2 mm error is the difference between a press fit and a rattle. Measure the sheet rather than trusting the label.

Question 3

Can I make a solid-walled crate without slats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set slat gaps to zero for solid walls. You can also keep the walls solid and turn off the carry handles for a plain finger-jointed box.

Question 4

Can I sell what I make with the Crate Generator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A commercial license is included, so you can sell crates made with the tool on Etsy, at craft fairs, or anywhere else. Attribution is appreciated but not required.
