Hey, I'm looking to get some OpenSCAD code generated for a delta printer effector, and I want it to be fully parametric. I've been using one I found online, but it has some issues, and I need more control over the design.

Specifically, I need a design that allows for:

*   **A central body** with adjustable diameter and height. It should have a central hole for the hotend, with its own diameter and a small buffer for easier fitting. The center hole should also have a rotation parameter for flexibility.
*   **Three arms** that extend outwards from the central body at 120-degree intervals. These arms need to have adjustable length, width, and height, plus small nubs at the ends for rod connections with adjustable protrusion.
*   **Mounting points for a BLTouch sensor**. This needs to have adjustable X offset from the center and an adjustable rotation. It should also have adjustable screw positions.
*   **A two-part clamping mechanism** for the hotend, so that it can be properly secured. The clamp needs to have an adjustable height, inner and outer diameters, and buffer. It should be split so that one side is fixed and the other is movable to secure the hotend. The movable side should be able to move into position for mounting and moved out of the way for printing.
*  **M3 screw and nut cutouts**. Provide cutouts for M3 screws and nuts in all relevant locations.
*   **A mount for a print cooling fan.** This needs to be able to mount two fans on the sides of the hotend, with adjustable parameters for size, rotation, and offset from the center. The design should include mounting holes for typical 40mm fans. The fan mounts need to be positioned to maintain print volume and should not interfere with the frame.
*   All dimensions should be parametric and easily adjustable, with comments describing each parameter's function.

I’d like to see a preview of the design with and without the hotend and BLTouch so I can check it. I also want to be able to see the fan mount in both the retracted and printing positions for development and debugging.

I'd like the code to use the `MCAD` library if possible. I'm familiar with it and would prefer it.

I'd like to design a customizable wrench for GoPro thumbscrews, similar to the one I found online but with some specific modifications and parameters. The basic idea is a wrench with a circular opening to grip the thumbscrew, a handle, and ideally a bit of a twist in the handle for ergonomics.

Here's what I'm thinking for parameters:

*   **Overall Height/Length:**  I need to be able to adjust the total length of the wrench. Let's call this `overall_height`.
*   **Twist Angle:** The handle should be able to have a twist, adjustable from 0 degrees (no twist) up to maybe 180 degrees in either direction. This will be `twist_angle`.
*   **Top Scale Factor:** The top of the wrench should be able to be scaled so it gets bigger along the length from bottom to top of the handle. This should have a parameter of `top_scale_factor`.
*   **Wrench Head Diameter:** The diameter of the circular opening that grips the thumbscrew. Let's make that `head_diameter`.
*   **Handle Inner Diameter**: There will be circles that create the handle, the spacing of which should be adjustable. Let's call that parameter `handle_inner_diameter`.
*   **Handle Radius**: The radius of the handle-creating circles will also be adjustable. This should be `handle_radius`.
*   **Handle Facets**: The number of facets along the handle needs to be adjustable, so that will be `handle_facets`.
*   **Pocket Height**: The depth of the circular inset that engages the thumbscrew needs to be adjustable, and this should be `pocket_height`.

I need this to be parametric so I can easily adjust these values to fit different needs and printers. The design should also be robust enough to handle slight variations in printer accuracy.

I'd also like a rounded top to the wrench and would prefer that to be done using minkowski operations if possible, as it makes for a smoother finish.

For the file, I just need the one single `.scad` file, but I will be using the standard libraries, so you do not need to generate that. Let me know if you need any further clarification.

I'd like a design for a T568B wiretap box, something that can be 3D printed. It should have a main body with two pass-throughs for RJ45 cables, a small compartment for electronics, and a lid. I'd like the design to be parametric, so I can easily adjust things like the cable diameter, box dimensions, and compartment size.

Here's a breakdown of the design requirements:

**Main Body:**

*   A rectangular box shape.
*   Two cylindrical cable pass-throughs, oriented perpendicular to one of the larger faces. These should allow RJ45 cables with a specified diameter to pass through.
*   A small, rectangular electronics compartment located on the top face of the box. This compartment should have a smaller rectangular cutout within it for a circuit board to sit inside.

**Lid:**

*   A rectangular cover that fits over the electronics compartment. It should have corresponding cutouts for the cable passthroughs on one of its edges.
*  Should have a small interior lip to sit securely over the main body's electronics compartment.
* Should have a small protrusion at each end that overlaps the bottom box, designed for screws or snaps for easy closure.

**Parameters:**

*   `box_width`: Overall width of the main body.
*   `box_length`: Overall length of the main body.
*   `box_height`: Height of the main body.
*   `cable_diameter`: Diameter of the RJ45 cable pass-throughs.
*   `cable_separation`: Distance between the two cable pass-throughs.
*   `compartment_width`: Width of the electronics compartment.
*   `compartment_length`: Length of the electronics compartment.
*    `compartment_height`: Height of the electronics compartment
*   `circuit_board_width`: Width of the cutout for the circuit board
*    `circuit_board_length`: Length of the cutout for the circuit board
*   `lid_thickness`: Thickness of the lid.
*    `lip_offset`: How much the lip inset on the lid
*  `lip_height`: Height of the lid lip
* `protrusion_length`: The horizontal length of the protrusion on the lid
* `protrusion_width`: The width of the protrusion on the lid
* `protrusion_height`: The height of the protrusion on the lid.

I think using the `difference()` and `union()` operations would work well for creating the box, cutouts, and pass-throughs. I'd also like the design to be easily customizable for different cable sizes. I prefer working in millimeters.

Can you generate the OpenSCAD code for this? I'm hoping you don't rely on any external libraries for this basic design.

I need a customizable bubble wand designed in OpenSCAD. I've seen a bunch of designs, but they're usually not very flexible. I'd like to control the ring size, the notches, and the handle.

Specifically, I need to be able to adjust:

*   The diameter of the ring.
*   The height of the ring.
*   The thickness of the ring itself.
*   The length of the notches that create the bubble film.
*   The thickness of those notches.
*   The placement of the notches, specifically how far they are from the edge of the ring.
*   The height of the notches (how much they protrude up/down from the ring).
*   The number of notches on the ring.
*   The length of the handle.
*   The thickness of the handle.

I'd also like the code to be well-commented so I can understand what each part is doing. I don't need any special libraries, just basic OpenSCAD functions will do.

Could you generate a parametric OpenSCAD file that lets me control all of these dimensions? Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for an OpenSCAD design for a spool hub. I've got a basic idea and some dimensions, but I need it to be parametric so I can adjust it later.

The basic idea is this: I need a hub that can pass through the center of a spool, and I want to be able to tether both sides together with an elastic cord. So, it's kind of like two caps connected by a short shaft.

Here are the things that need to be adjustable:

*   **`shaftDiameter`**: This is the inner diameter of the central hole that goes through the whole hub.
*   **`spoolShaftDiameter`**: This is the outer diameter of the hub's "caps" that will sit against the spool.
*   **`resolution`**: The number of segments for circles - basically the fineness of the curves.
*   **`textOffset`**: The distance from center for the engraved text on the hub cap.
*  **`slimmed`**: A boolean (1 or 0) to turn on or off "slimmed" sections on the cap's sides, which helps it fit more easily.
*   **`showTieholes`**: A boolean (1 or 0) to turn on or off the holes for the elastic cord.
*   **`fontSize`**: The size of the font for the diameter engraving.
*   **`engraveDiameters`**: A boolean (1 or 0) to turn on or off the engraving of the shaft and spool diameters.
*   **`capThickness`**: The thickness of the hub's "cap" sections.
*   **`tieholeRotation`**: The rotation angle of the tie holes.
*   **`tieslotDepth`**: The depth of the tie slots, relative to the cap surface.
*   **`tieholeFromCenter`**: The distance from the center for the tie holes.
*   **`shaftWallHeight`**: The height of the connecting shaft section between the caps.
*  **`shaftWallWidth`**: The thickness of the wall of the shaft section.

The design should have the following features:

*   Two "caps" that are essentially flat circles with the `spoolShaftDiameter`.
*   A cylindrical shaft of `shaftWallHeight` that connects the two caps.
*   A hole through the center of the caps and shaft defined by `shaftDiameter`.
*   Tie holes and slots at a radial distance of `tieholeFromCenter` to thread an elastic cord through. There should be 4 tie holes equally spaced, and the tie slots should be at 2 opposing points on the cap.
* The slimmed sections should be removed from the outside of both the caps and shaft.

I'd like the design to be well-commented and use clear variable names and be easy to adjust. I'm expecting a couple of files, as the first one I have is pretty disorganized. It looks like I'm just using the base OpenSCAD functionality, so I don't think any extra libraries are needed.

Thanks!

Okay, I need an OpenSCAD design for a motor spacer plate, specifically for an E3D Titan extruder and a NEMA17 motor. The plate should essentially be a square with the corners cut off, have mounting holes for the NEMA17, and a circular recess for the motor boss. I'm envisioning something parametric so I can easily adjust it for different motor setups down the line.

Here are the specific dimensions and features I'm looking for:

*   **Overall Shape:** The base shape is a square, but with chamfered corners. I'd like the sides of the square to be defined by `nema_width`. The `chamfer` on each corner should be calculated so that the distance of the chamfered edge is `34`.
*   **Thickness:** I need to be able to specify a plate `thickness` parameter, defaulting to 2mm.
*   **NEMA17 Mounting Holes:** Four clearance holes for M3 screws, arranged in a square pattern. The spacing between the holes should be defined by `nema_hole_spacing`, defaulting to 31mm. The hole diameter for the M3 screws should be specified using `nema_hole_size`, defaulting to 3.5mm.
*   **Motor Boss Recess:** A circular recess in the center of the plate for the motor boss. The diameter of this recess should be defined by `nema_boss_size`, defaulting to 27mm.
*   **Parametric Design:** All key dimensions (thickness, hole spacing, hole size, boss size, and nema width) should be easily adjustable as parameters within the OpenSCAD file, and have reasonable defaults for typical NEMA17 motors. I would like to have a `chamfer` parameter to make it easier to adjust the chamfer for other motors, this should default to be calculated so that the distance of the chamfered edge is `34`

It would be helpful if you could provide a single OpenSCAD file that contains all the necessary code. I don't need any extra libraries for this. Also, please include plenty of comments in the code.

I'm looking to design a parametric coin holder for a keyring, specifically one that can hold a single coin securely. I've seen a design online that's close to what I want, but I'd like to have a version that's more customizable.

The basic idea is a two-piece design, with two face plates that sandwich a coin, and a spring-loaded ring around the edge that keeps it all together. I’d like the design to be customizable for different coin diameters and thicknesses. I also want to be able to adjust the tightness of the spring and the dimensions of the keyring hole.

Here's a breakdown of the specific features I'm looking for:

*   **Parametric Coin Dimensions:** I need to be able to specify the coin diameter (`CDia`) and coin thickness (`CThick`).
*   **Face Plates:** Two identical face plates that mirror each other, sandwiching the coin. These plates should have a slight lip or recess to prevent the coin from sliding out. They should also have a cutout for the spring ring around the edge. I need to be able to adjust the thickness of these plates separately from the coin thickness.
*   **Spring Ring:** The spring ring should be a continuous ring with a slight overhang to provide tension. It should fit around the outer edge of the face plates.  I'd like to adjust the thickness of the spring itself and the gap it creates in the surrounding ring. I also want to adjust how much the spring overhangs the main ring. This ring should have a gap for a key ring loop. I need to be able to adjust the diameter of this key ring loop (`KeyRingDia`).
*   **Printing Tolerance:** I need to define a printing tolerance (`PrintTol`) to allow for printer inaccuracies. I want this value to be applied to any necessary cutouts or mating surfaces and be configurable.
*   **Minimum Print Width:** There is a minimum print width (`MinPrintWidth`) which should be used in the design where appropriate.
*   **Spring Factor:**  The spring should be a multiple of the minimum print width and a `SpringFactor` is used as that multiple.
*   **Assembly:** I would like there to be a parameter, when set, generates the parts separated by an offset to make them easier to print and assemble. If that parameter is not set, the parts will be oriented as though they are fully assembled.
*   **Keyring Hole:** A hole for attaching a keyring should be incorporated in the Spring Ring part, with customizable diameter.

I’d like to use a parameter driven design. This design should be created from scratch and not use the provided SCAD as a starting point other than for design ideas. It should use OpenSCAD to generate the model and should use the BOSL2 library if there are helpful modules. I'm hoping the generated files will use reasonable naming conventions for variables and modules.

Please generate the OpenSCAD file(s) for this design. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'd like to create a modular system of 3D printable parts for a project I'm working on, and I think OpenSCAD is the way to go. I need a few different parts, and I'd like them to be configurable with parameters so I can adjust them to fit my needs. Here's what I'm thinking:

First, I need a board holder. It should be a sort of rectangular frame with a base, sides, and a top. The top of this frame should have a honeycomb pattern for aesthetics and weight saving. I need to be able to specify the overall length of the frame, the height of the board it will be holding (which determines the height of the sides), and also the size and spacing of the hexagons in the honeycomb pattern. The length parameter will control both the length and width of the frame.

Second, I need a rod drop component. This is basically a cylinder with a hole, and a slightly larger, more complex shape extending from one side. This secondary shape is created with a hull around two cylinders of different sizes. The intention is to fit a nut inside the larger part. The hole through the cylinder and larger shape should match the rod in the "Rod_v6.stl" file. The nut cavity will be designed to fit the "Nut_v6.stl" file. I don't need this part to be configurable in terms of dimensions, just make sure it fits the other rod and nut pieces.

Finally, I need a bottle holder. This will have a cylindrical base, with several spiral extrusions wrapping around the cylinder. There should also be a hole going through the entire object that is designed to fit the rod from the "Rod_v6.stl" file. I'd like to be able to control the overall height of the base, the thickness of the spiral extrusions, and the radius of the base itself.

I'd like the whole thing to be a single OpenSCAD file, where I can select which part to generate (or generate all of them together) using a `part` variable, with the options "first" for the board holder, "second" for the rod drop, "third" for the bottle holder, and "all" for all three parts. The `part` variable can be a string like this: part = "first";

For the board holder, the parameters should be `lenght` for the side length of the frame, `board_size` for the height of the board that fits inside, `w` for the spacing between honeycombs, and `d` for the diameter of the hexagons. For the bottle holder, the parameters should be `tall` for the height of the base, `spiral` for the thickness of the spiral extrusions, and `radius` for the radius of the base.

I've attached the STL files "Nut_v6.stl" and "Rod_v6.stl" that you will need to ensure the second and third pieces are correctly dimensioned.

I'm working on a hydroponic system and I need a parametric OpenSCAD design for a gutter coupling. Basically, it's a clip that will join two sections of standard gutter together to form a continuous channel for a nutrient film technique (NFT) system.

Here's how it needs to work:

*   **Gutter Fit:** The coupling needs to fit snugly onto standard gutter. For my design purposes I'm considering the gutter wall thickness to be `Gutter_Wall_Thickness` of 2.5 mm.
*   **Clip Walls:** The walls of the coupling clip itself should have a thickness of `Coupling_wall_thickness`, and this should be easily adjustable, but I'd recommend 1.6 mm as a starting point since it's good for printing with a standard nozzle.
*   **Length:** The length of the coupling, or `couplingLength`, should be parametric, so I can adjust the overlap of the gutter sections. Let's start with a value of 12.5 mm, but this value should be easily adjustable in the code.
*   **Width:** The width of the coupling, or `couplingWidth`, will depend on the other parameters but specifically on `Gutter_Wall_Thickness` and `Coupling_wall_thickness`.
*  **Height**: I need to account for `gutter_Coupling_Height` and `couplingHeight`, the later of which will depend on the former. For starters, let's say that the `gutter_Coupling_Height` will be 24 mm - 1mm, and that the `couplingHeight` will be the `gutter_Coupling_Height` plus the `Coupling_wall_thickness`.

I envision the design as a rectangular block with two channels cut out to snugly fit the gutter walls. Those channels should be on opposite sides of the rectangle.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this? I'd like the code to be parametric with named variables that are easy to understand.  I'd also appreciate comments in the code so I can easily understand how things are calculated.

[Assistant]
gutter_coupling.scad:
```
//This will adjust the open gap where the clip fits onto the gutter.
Gutter_Wall_Thickness = 2.5;
//The thickness of the clip walls. Try to make this a multiple of your printer nozzle width.
Coupling_wall_thickness = 1.6;
//How long do you want the coupling to be?
couplingLength = 12.5;//[5:50]

couplingWidth = 3*Coupling_wall_thickness + 2*Gutter_Wall_Thickness;
gutter_Coupling_Height = 24-1;
couplingHeight = gutter_Coupling_Height+Coupling_wall_thickness;

difference(){
    difference(){
        cube([couplingWidth,couplingLength,couplingHeight]);
        translate([Coupling_wall_thickness,0,0])
            cube([Gutter_Wall_Thickness,couplingLength ,gutter_Coupling_Height]);
    }
    translate([2*Coupling_wall_thickness+Gutter_Wall_Thickness,0,Coupling_wall_thickness])
        cube([Gutter_Wall_Thickness,couplingLength ,gutter_Coupling_Height]);
}

Okay, I'd like to design a customizable button using OpenSCAD. It should be parametric, letting me control things like the button's overall shape, size, the number and location of holes in it, and whether it has a rounded top.

Specifically, the button should have a few basic parameters:

*   `diameter_of_button`: This sets the overall size of the button and the bounding circle for other shapes.
*   `height_of_button`: The thickness of the button.
*   `radi_to_center_of_hole`: The distance from the center of the button to the center of each hole.
*   `diameter_of_hole`: The diameter of each hole.
*   `number_of_holes`: The number of holes around the center of the button.

I'd also like a few options for more advanced customization:

*   `button_shape`: This should be an option that lets me pick the shape of the button. I'd want options like a circle, a 5-point star, a 6-point star, a triangle, a square, a pentagon, a hexagon, an octagon, a heart, an android shape, and *maybe* eventually an apple shape, though it's not essential now.
*   `resoultion`: This would control how smooth curved shapes are; higher numbers should give smoother results.
*   `rounded_center`: A boolean that would add a rounded, somewhat spherical top to the button
* `ignore_error_messages`: This is to ignore errors that the design might cause, such as making the holes bigger than the button.
*   `units_entered` and `desired_units_for_output`: To handle unit conversions. The button should work with either mm, cm, meters, inches or feet as input, and be output in any of those units.

The holes, if there are any, should be arranged in a circle around the center of the button. If there is only one hole, it should be in the center.

I don't expect the apple shape to be implemented now, but everything else should be. I'm looking for the most parametric and flexible design possible, allowing any combination of sizes and shapes, within reason.

Okay, I've got this Carcassonne tile box design in OpenSCAD that I'm trying to make more flexible. Right now, it's got some basic features like adjustable tile width, wall thickness, and box height, and some experimental features like dividers and meeple compartments, but I'd like to make it a whole lot more customizable and robust.

Here's a breakdown of what I'm looking for in a new parametric OpenSCAD design. I think it'll need to be a few files since it's a bit complicated.

**Core Box Parameters (core_box.scad)**:

*   **`tile_width`**: The width of a single Carcassonne tile (e.g., 45.2mm), maybe make this adjustable as a range.
*   **`tile_thickness`**: The average thickness of the tiles (e.g., 2.1mm).
*   **`tile_excess_space`**: Extra space for easier tile removal (e.g., 0.6mm), this needs to be user adjustable.
*   **`wall_width`**: The thickness of the box walls (e.g., 1.0mm).
*   **`box_height`**: The overall height of the box (e.g., 20mm).
*   **`number_of_tiles`**: The total number of tiles that the box should hold.

**Divider Parameters (dividers.scad):**

*   **`enable_dividers`**: A boolean toggle to enable or disable dividers.
*   **`number_of_dividers`**: The number of dividers to use.
*   **`divider_width`**: The width of each divider.
*   **`divider_positions`**: A list specifying the position of each divider. I think we should specify this as percentages of the total tile-holding width rather than specific tiles, so they'll move if the number of tiles changes. It'd also be nice if we could specify a list of tile percentages rather than individual variables for each divider.

**Meeple Compartment Parameters (meeple_compartments.scad):**

*   **`enable_meeple_compartments`**: A boolean toggle for the meeple storage.
*   **`number_of_compartments`**: The number of meeple compartments in the box.
*   **`compartment_start_position`**: Again, I think this should be a tile width percentage of the tile area.
*   **`compartment_spacing`**: The distance between meeple compartments.
*   **`compartment_height`**: Height of the meeple compartments.
*   **`compartment_width`**: Width of the meeple compartment.
*  **`compartment_radius`**: Radius of the cutout at the top.
*   **`fn`**:  Resolution of the circular cutout (e.g. $fn = 200).

**General Notes:**

*   I'd like to keep the basic box shape simple, just a rectangular prism with an interior cutout.
*   The dividers should slot into the box and be flush with the inner wall.
*   The meeple compartments should also be positioned at the top of the tile area, again flush.
*   I am not sure how to use libraries - I don't think I'm using any.

Could you generate those three files? Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks!

I'm looking to create a customizable flower pot, and I have some specific ideas in mind. I'd like it to have a sort of spiraling, geometric pattern around the outside, achieved by using rotated and offset cubes.

Here's a breakdown of what I'm picturing:

*   **Overall Shape:** The main form should be a cylindrical pot.
*   **Size:** I want to be able to control the outer radius and the total height of the pot.
*   **Geometric Pattern:** This is where it gets interesting. I'd like to have a series of cube-like shapes applied to the exterior, and these should form a spiral as they go up the pot.
    *   Each "cube" won't be a perfect cube; it'll be a modified, stretched, and rotated cube shape, built by intersecting a hull of two rotated and displaced cubes with a larger bounding cube.
    *   I need to control the base size of this modified cube.
    *   The size of the cubes should incrementally increase as they spiral upwards.
    *   The cubes should be positioned with a rotation around the cylinder's central axis, that alternates between two values.
    *   The cubes should also have an offset relative to the outer radius of the pot, that also increases as the spiral goes upwards.
*   **Wall Thickness:** The wall of the pot should have a defined thickness that I can adjust.
*    **Drainage:** I need a few circular drainage holes near the base.
*   **Customizable:** Ultimately, I need to be able to control all of these parameters.

To summarize, I'm looking for a parametric OpenSCAD design for a flower pot with a customizable outer radius, height, wall thickness, spiral geometric pattern, cube size, cube offset, and drainage holes.

Could you create the necessary `.scad` files for this? I'm not looking for anything particularly fancy, just a functional design. I don't need any specific libraries, just the standard OpenSCAD functionality should be sufficient.

Hey, I need help designing a wall-mounted phone dock. I've got some measurements for my phone and a basic idea, but I'm struggling to put it all into OpenSCAD. I'm aiming for something that can be stuck to the wall with double-sided tape.

My phone is roughly 82mm wide and 14mm deep, and I want the dock to be about 28mm tall. I'm thinking of a box shape with a cutout at the bottom for the charging cable, and a rounded back so it doesn't just have sharp corners against the wall. The phone needs to be held securely, so I need a lip on the sides. The whole thing will be mounted to a wall with double-sided tape, so it needs a flat base. The main material will be something around 1.5mm thick, and the base can be a bit thinner, maybe around 1mm. The charging cut should be about 14mm wide.

I'd also like a bit of clearance in the design, so the phone isn't a super tight fit. Could you add about 1mm of clearance on both the width and depth of the phone holder?

So, to recap:
- Phone width: 82mm (add 1mm clearance)
- Phone depth: 14mm (add 1mm clearance)
- Height: 28mm
- Main Thickness: 1.5mm
- Base Thickness: 1mm
- Charger cut width: 14mm
- Rounded back
- Flat base for tape

I'm fairly new to OpenSCAD, so I don't need anything too complex. I'd prefer the design to be fully parametric, so I can easily adjust it for different sized phones. I would prefer to use built-in OpenSCAD functions, but if it is necessary to use a library, please let me know before using it. If using a library, use the BOSL2 library.

phonedock.scad:
```

  phonewidth = 82;

  sides = 100;

I'm looking to design a set of parametric parts for a microquad drone that uses an interlocking brick system, like LEGO. I want the design to include a motor mount, a midsection, and a camera mount. I need to be able to customize them to fit my printer and the specific components I'm using.

Here's what I'm thinking:

**Motor Mount:**

*   The mount should have a circular base for the motor and an arm extending out, made of the same interlocking brick-compatible studs.
*   I need to be able to set the motor outer diameter.
*   I also need to be able to specify the length of the arm in studs.
*   And I need to specify how many of these motor mounts to generate.

**Midsection:**

*   This part should be a base to which I can attach motor mounts and other parts.
*   It should have side plates, a front plate, and a rear plate, and I'd like to be able to set the size of each of these plates in stud increments.
*   I would like the base of the midsection to be X-shaped.

**Camera Mount:**

*   The camera mount should be angled. I need to be able to set this angle.
*   I'd like an option to add a supporting back to the mount, which I can also set the height of.

**General Customization:**

*   I need to adjust the stud and hole sizes for a snug fit with my bricks and printer. There should be separate variables for this.
*   I also need a general margin adjustment for print size variations.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this? I'd like it to be parametric so I can easily tweak the settings. Also, I need it to be designed from scratch; please don't try to use any of the attached code.
