Instructions
I recommend printing the basic set in the Parts List, which is the first eleven boxes from 10mm to 60mm. The first six are all in one STL file and fit in a 100mm print area, and all the rest are in individual STL files. I've included STL files for boxes up to 100mm, but I haven't actually printed any above 60mm.
No support material is required for printing and any fill setting above 10% should work fine.
The OpenSCAD is as flexible as I could make it given the limitations of the language. It is easy to modify the text on the boxes or to start the lettering (or numbering) from a larger box size (say 45mm) if you wanted to create a set for children under three years of age.
The OpenSCAD is designed to work in two ways: output all the boxes (using a loop) or output a particular box. This is all controlled by the ! operator prefix.
The OpenSCAD source uses @tbuser's bitmap fonts, but modified to remove the slash from the zero. Files bitmap.scad and logos.scad also need to be in the same folder as the NestedBoxes.scad.
