I'm trying to cut my design to fit it on my printer. I found this
library: https://github.com/hugokernel/OpenSCAD_Dovetail,
https://github.com/hugokernel/OpenSCAD_Dovetail but I'm finding that
I'm going to need some documentation. The sample code isn't really all
that helpful to me. I think I've figured out most of my questions through
experimentation but if anyone has a lead on some actual documentation that
would be great.

My remaining question is whether cutting along the Y-axis instead of along
the X-axis is possible.

Alternatively if there is a better module out there, that is better
documented I would love to hear about it.

Here are the dimensions I'm using:
Cube_dimension = [30, 50, 10];
cut_pos=[15,25,5];
intersection() {
cube(size=Cube_dimension, center=false);
cutter(position=cut_pos, dimension=Cube_dimension, teeths=teeth,
male=true);
}

Maybe try this instead since it's documented?
