MultiPart Output for Small Printers

[unteins]

So, one thing I would love to see is a way to take a BIG bin and break it into sections that I can print on a smaller printer.

My use case here is simple, I am using Gridfinity to organize a tool drawer - I've got a couple screw drivers that are 7 and 8 units along but the longest box I can really fit on my printer is 6 units.

Box walls are thin, so the joint needs to integrate into the walls and base itself during the print - trying to cut it up later is hard and butt joints will be fragile.

Maybe using JointSCAD (https://github.com/HopefulLlama/JointSCAD) to generate finger joints or dovetails along the seam would be a way to make these possible.

Another way to make them sturdier would be to have a separate base (similar to vase mode) where the base is also in sections but the sections span the splits.

If integrate joints in the box and a base that connects and spans the seam, it should make for a durable bin of almost any size.

So, I managed to hack a proof of concept of this idea, it looks like it should work. I'm not familiar enough with the structure of the project to get everything perfect (or to account for any surprises that might be lurking).

However, I was able to use JointSCAD to add some joints and split off the ends of a box to make it possible to print a bigger box with a small printer.
