Question 1

Is the Display Case Generator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set the size, windows and options 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, shelf tab and shelf slot 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 put a window on more than one side?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick any combination of front, back, left, right and top. The bottom always stays solid so the case has a floor, and the window size slider sets how much of each panel the opening fills inside a frame that always clears the joints.

Question 4

What does opening a corner do?

Accepted Answer

It runs the window straight through the left or right corner, so there is no vertical post between the front and that side wall. The front panel becomes a bracket and that corner carries no joints, while the floor, lid and back still hold the case square. It is the classic open diorama look.

Question 5

How does the interior shelf attach?

Accepted Answer

The shelf is cut with tabs on its left, right and back edges, and matching slots are cut into those three walls. It sits just below the window opening so it never crosses the glass line, and its front edge stays plain so no joinery shows through the window.

Question 6

Can I 3D print the case instead of laser cutting it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 3D export gives you a zip with one print-ready part per panel, each extruded to the material thickness with the windows and shelf slots already cut. Choose STL or 3MF, and the parts are numbered to match the flat sheet layout.
