Idea: Open ended boxes

[basvdijk]

When your printer is too small to print large boxes it could be useful to generate "open ended boxes"

For example, I need a 2x6 but this doesn't fit my printer. I could then print two 2x3 with open ends

Possible related to #90

thats an awesome idea.
i have several open ended boxes.
but my use case is for a dynamic storage (length, corners, ...)

Updated PR #104 which now support toggling individual sides

Added checkboxes in settings:

So you can make for example these shapes:
