// Section: General Constants
// Constant: $slop
// Description:
// The printer specific amount of slop in mm to print with to make parts fit exactly.
// You may need to override this value for your printer.
$slop = 0.20;
// Section: Directional Vectors
// Vectors useful for `rotate()`, `mirror()`, and `anchor` arguments for `cuboid()`, `cyl()`, etc.
// Constant: LEFT
// Description: Vector pointing left. [-1,0,0]
// Example(3D): Usage with `anchor`
// cuboid(20, anchor=LEFT);

// Description: Vector pointing right. [1,0,0]
// Example(3D): Usage with `anchor`
// cuboid(20, anchor=RIGHT);
