This keeps deciding that I am done describing my drawer before I can mention a single thing that should be stored in the drawer. I basically get paste the dimension and it decides that I hit Generate already.

Now I'm going to try typing my command in a different window and then pasting it in all at once. That worked, but now it isn't at all obvious how my items are supposed to go in the boxes generated, nor how they are to fit into the space.

Please create it for wood as in "this is the wood you need to obtain or cut as in lwh. Then, how many screws do you need where" and so on.

3D printing this is too expensive in even a little bigger quantity. Maybe a combination of 3D print and wood, but 3D print is way too powerful to be wasted on even surfaces that could better be created with wood.

I find the sum of all 3d printing tools and consumables required to build something useful (i.e. drawer inserts) a lot cheaper than the sum of all wood tools and consumables.

Reminds me of pallet stacking software. Give it 200 boxes all different sizes and the robot stacks up the puzzle. I could watch it all day.
