Summary

These new snap pins are meant to address the deficiencies of my previous pin library. These are much easier to insert, more tolerant of different printer calibrations, and stick better to the build platform.

You can include this library in your OpenSCAD designs, or use customizer to export pins and holes for use with other programs.

UPDATE: I added thin fins to the holes, which create slits when differenced. These fool slicers into making webs that strengthen the conical end of the hole. They greatly improve strength for vertically-oriented holes, and can be turned off in other situations if desired.
