Request: Optional holes in the extra distancex/distancey

[RichiH]

Both to save filament and to be able to print custom containers which still align in one dimension, an option to create holes in extra spacing would be nice.

As seen here:

This would allow me to build gridfinity-inspired containers which do not move around in the drawer. Together with #296 this would be even more powerful as I could then maximize the space for the YOLOed containers.

I understand the idea, but really need to figure out a way to cut the options down or hide the less commonly used ones before adding more. Things get a bit crazy if we're not careful, since just "adding holes" isn't going to be enough customization.

I haven't tried it, but something like this should work.

hole_radius = 5.5;  // Set this to whatever you like.

// Left Side
translate([
    -length * gridx + fit_offset.x * min_size_mm / 2,
    -length * gridy + fit_offset.y * min_size_mm / 2,
    -length/2
])
for(i =[0: gridy-1]) {
    translate([0, length * i,0])
    linear_extrude(length)
    circle(r=hole_radius);
}

// Right Side
translate([
    length * gridx + fit_offset.x * min_size_mm / 2,
    -length * gridy + fit_offset.y * min_size_mm / 2,
    -length/2
])
for(i =[0: gridy-1]) {
    translate([0, length * i,0])
    linear_extrude(length)
    circle(r=hole_radius);
}
