Greetings all; Forced to use FF & webmail due to a main drive failure and a new bullseye install I don't yet have a working mail agent on. Sucks dead toads thru soda straws is what it is. But I'm trying to make a lid for a 50 shell flat from a 38 box which is the right size to hold 50 6.5 Creedmoor shells. The openscad code: // a lid for a 50 shell carriar for 6.5 creedmoor shellswid=74.50; //mm len=145.80; //mm high= 77.60; //mm wall=2.5; //mm widod=(wid+wall+wall); // one wall on each lenod=(len+wall+wall); // one of each hightop=(high+wall); echo (wid,len,high); echo (widod,lenod,hightop); $fn=3; union() { difference() { cube([widod,lenod,hightop],true); translate([0,0,wall-.95]) cube([wid,len,high],true); }; #translate([0,0,80])cylinder([2,2,20,true]); // latch bumps }; The last # marked line is not an error, nor is it reproduced in the preview pane. I intend to place two of them on the inside edge of the top of the box to act as snap over latches to hold the this box lid in place over a 50 shell insert from a cartridge box. But if can't find it, (that's why the 80mm z translate) I can't place it with rotate/translate's Where did it go? Thanks all, Cheers, Gene

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

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 ?
