Being critical, the rounded corners do not look correct (as in the socket plate)., and you've still got to add the blocks for the plate screw fixings, and probably cable holes and screw holes.The internal radius should be less than the external. Still, If you're happy, then that is good enough. I've written an extruded version, I could post it, but maybe you'd rather try it for yourself, although I've tried to include the steps in getting there. (and then others can say I've got it wrong too 😁)

I find myself doing this sort of thing often enough that I have written a chamfered cube module in my own library. it allows me to specify exactly which edges are chamfered, and whether to use straight chamfers, or rounded. Galloping featuritis has added a lot of code to it, I must admit...

Thanks. Yes, I’ll correct the inside corner rounding. I expect to tackle the other features later, once I’ve exhausted all aspects of the basic box. And yes please, I’d much appreciate your extruded version. While trying it myself it’s good to know I have a crib at hand! -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/
