My Customized Improved Phone Case

This is a config file for creating 3D printed cases using OpenSCAD and the official case creator from Google, the company that developed Android (Android Device Builders). Below is a step-by-step explanation of each value used: 1. The two coordinate points given at the beginning define a square. All measurements in the case design are done in inches, not millimeters. 2. `stencil_rotation`: * The "rotation" here does not apply to the rotation of a particular component within the model (i.e., which part we're dealing with and what's rotating relative to what) but applies to our entire "frame," our model itself. 3. The actual stencil is just how far from center our text should be when drawn onto the object we create for engraving into it after the printing phase: no difference other than looks – more offset = less clean looking; both styles have same info written down somewhere so pick one personally! 4. To clarify things up here: Pattern element overlaps are essentially little 'stencils' inside larger "scales" within OpenSCAD models that define how exactly we're placing patterns onto parts like corners etcetera, thus enabling various layouts beyond standard rectangles. 5. A pattern element rotation refers to an object's internal angles. The value is already provided at `pattern_element_rotation = 90` meaning if our 'base piece' had any specific angular orientation, that angle remains consistent even when moving parts together since rotations preserve shape regardless. 6. Corner resolution affects both size of each edge segment along entire corner and individual element count across the surface - which can sometimes lead unwanted consequences depending what your doing (for better looks vs functional performance). 7. "Printer Tolerance" or rather more commonly known term "print margin", simply means smallest possible measurement in terms distance before things become invisible during actual printing because layers do not always perfectly adhere without some minimum space left open allowing certain mechanical forces work properly; usual default range starts from `0` (`inches`). This makes adjustments relatively straightforward by altering tolerance only instead adjusting every aspect at once manually. 8. "use_mouse_ears" means are ears included as separate items during 3d printing - usually these extra little pieces get removed right away since there often isn’t enough support generated within original model without applying modifications beforehand thus might become redundant or unnecessary part that still adds some material weight albeit providing almost nothing additional; hence enabling those requires changing another number ("mouse ear angle"), making sure ears sit correctly according expectations. 9. The actual positions given via code refer purely geometric data related specifically defined points lying directly within case model before actual production process, e.g., locations specified here influence exact location on device which might require precise calculations based solely geometry because they dictate every possible orientation possibility due dimensions given – these won’t show changes after re-print unless re-export happens with modified file. I can answer other specific parts related this if further questions asked about particular configurations in more depth as mentioned initially for full explanation above
