Clock Winding Key
First, get the fit correct. Measure the interface, design the connection. Print a test part, make sure it fits. Repeat until the fit is correct.
Second, design the rest of the key.

Missing a winding key

Measure the parts!

Does it fit?
Print a small test piece to see if it fits. With measurements this small, it is likely to not fit,
as consumer level 3D printers and slicing software are not 100% accurate. (Plastic oozes inside curves, etc...)
Figure out how much larger/smaller dimensions need to be for a good fit using small test parts that print fast and don't waste plastic.

Modulize it!

Add the anyoldsize parts

Retain ability to print test part alone

New Example – Bubble Display Base
Bubble Display made up of a square of nine oneinch square acrylic tubes.
Each tube has an air nozzle, and an associated RGB color controlled LED that need to have a hole.

Step 1 – Cut out the main box
![Page 17: OpenSCAD Example Projects](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050901/589d96591a28ab1c4a8bc19c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step 2 – Cut out holes for air hoses

Step 3 – Holes for mounting screws

Step 4 – Six symetrical LED holes

Step 5 – The other 3 holes

Print a test piece in less than 12 hours
If you have done your parametric design correctly, resizing the height to a very small number just works.
