Well, I'll be damned. It took a few hours of messing around with masks, but I finally got there. That's a lot of labor for such a simple model; I can only imagine how complex it can get if you're making something more involved. Regardless, this should work just fine for parametric generation on #3DPrinting websites.

All that work, and MakerWorld's Parametric Model Maker doesn't properly apply the fix point cut so the bin can slide onto a Multiboard panel. Thingiverse is even worse -- they don't even support BOSL2, so it's a hard-cornered mess. I'll at least rest easy knowing I will get plenty of mileage out of the OpenSCAD script myself, and those who are so inclined can download the script and run it locally. MakerWorld's PMM is showing the fix point slot die as missing its back face, so it's a non-manifold object in their version of OpenSCAD. I've tried regenerating the polygons using an online converter multiple different ways (and again, it runs locally), but it's not panning out. Locally, the geometry looks pretty weird in preview, (the cut opens a hole into a hollow shell of the main body?) but the render turns out fine.
