nophead, where is your old post about the ID of holes, that's the best
explanation I recall.

jazzjohn, for FDM printers you never get a square corner, the printhead
movement always drags the extrudate inside the radius. So those square
cuts will not be square. IIRC you want to open up the inside corner and
flatten the outside. Like my very bad drawing in the corner here:

Ah... Good point. Thanks.
