It's difficult to envision precisely what your design requires. Would it be practical for you to sketch out a simple drawing and add to the post? Even a pencil sketch photographed by a cell phone is better than counting one someone else's imagination!
Cylinders are circular in cross section and have no opposite corners. If viewed from the long axis, it is a rectangular cross section, which would have opposite corners, but then the axial positioning of the cut-outs become slightly vague.

if I drew it free hand, I can guarentee it would confuse more.
Mind you the basic idea is a 2 minute openscad job :-)
so you have 4 of those that just glue together. The glue i use - uhu all purpose - bonds pla as well as acetone bonds abs. Pretty sure there's a partial solunility going on as well as the actua glue component.
Anyway that's basically what I'm talking about. Just wondered if there was something better.
Actually those 7 lines are 90% of the design done lol.
The rest is just getting the screw holes in the right place :-)
Can't do that till the board arrives.
Currently about to print 4 of those 20mm square :-) Rounded the cylinders and made the hole 0.4mm larger - so 0.2 on a 'side'.Last edited by curious aardvark; 07-05-2018 at 06:03 AM.

Those 7 lines are probably better done with a cylinder. And should be about 2% of design effort.Try this in OpenScad:corner();module corner() { difference() { union() { cube([10,10,10]); translate([5,-1,0]) cylinder(r=2, h=1, $fn=75); } translate([-1,-1,1]) cube([10,10,10]); translate([1,5,-1]) cylinder(r=2, h=5, $fn=75); }}
Please explain to me how to...
