I'm trying to cut my design to fit it on my printer. I found this library: 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?

PrusaSlicer will cut a model into two pieces and add dovetails upon request.

Yeah I tried that first but I can't get it to do what I want and their documentation isn't very good either. It only seems to cut across the Z axis.

easy enough to do it in basic openscad, using difference. (Make a cube
with whatever dovetail profile you want, maybe two, if printer
tolerances are off)

Play around with the PrusaSlicer cut feature a little bit. Hold Shift down and draw a vertical line. Then hover over the resulting plane and some handles will appear. You can rotate it and shift it around. Undocumented and quirky, yes, but I think you could make it do cuts in any of the 3 standard planes.
You can, of course, rotate the part and then cut it in the X/Y plane without all of the above.

Interesting. I’ve used BOSL2s dovetails several times very successfully. When partition uses a dovetail cut, are the dovetails graduated so the parts lock together? That’s how I have used dovetails.
