Working in code is much easier than trying to align and drop things with the #freecad tools. I need a better way cut out the excess though - some sort of plane operation? I think I&#39;ll use more #openscad in future. https://github.com/stsquad/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad/tree/add-handle

#qemu&#39;s #usermode #emulation is now officially orphaned with its #linux and #bsd parts having been set at &quot;Odd Fixes&quot; for some time now. We know usermode is heavily used by cross compilers and compilers for unit testing but the current lack of maintainer cover is unsustainable in the long term.
