Hi, first of thanks for this amazing project!
I found a bug, when trying to generate Clamshell Style item holders with MultiConnect points and small widths for the clamshells itself.
Working Example:
So for example with Underware_Item_Holder_Clamshell_Style.scad and the Settings:
Settings
mounting surface: opengrid (though same bug for MultiBoard as well)
internal depth: 22
total Item width: 50
not changed from standard:
internal width: 60
internal height: 15
Results
I get correct spacing between the horizontal points:
And the vertical points:
Broken Example
Now, lets change the internal depth to 17, instead of 22
Settings
mounting surface: opengrid
internal depth: 17
total Item width: 50
Results
Vertical spacing is wrong
Item spacing itself, however, is still correct:
leading to two clamshell parts that do not fit.
Problem
The problem seems to be, that when the internal depth is too small and the two clamshell parts (correctly) move farther away from one another, to compensate for the missing space, the MultiConnect points move with them, but actually should stay at the same position in space.
As one can see, when such a "lip" is generated, the lip is exactly 5mm deep (or high..), so double that we have the wrong offset of 10mm, that was observable earlier:
So somehow those MultiConnect points need to be fixed in space, while the rest of the part moves. And with that, sometimes the part probably does not need that lip at all, since it was only thought to be needed, because of the MultiConnect Points being so close to the edge. With those points however, not being close to that edge any more, the part itself can be much smaller (narrower).
