Gene, I see it but it is very small.

Why are you passing a vector to cylinder()?

Should not that be:

cylinder(2,2,20,center=true); // latch bumps

?
Good question, I'm still learning the ropes, I see cylinder does NOT use the [] to

hold the vars, fixed that, now.

I see a big arrow pointing left.  And the center= has historically been optional, it
is the state of the 4th argument that counts. But now that I can see it, I can shape
it and place it.

The worst part is just under a full day to print it and half a spool of filament.

Thank you Leonard.

Gene, try making the wall an integer multiple of your nozzle size.  For
example, if you are using a 0.4mm nozzle, make

wall=2.4;  // an integer multiple of 0.4

Using a 0.28 layer height, Cura predicts 8 hours 23 minutes, 141 grams
