// ============================================================
// canable_mount.scad — CANable 2.0 USB-CAN Adapter Cradle
// Issue #654 / sl-mechanical 2026-03-16
// ============================================================
// Snap-fit cradle for CANable 2.0 PCB (~60 × 18 × 10 mm).
// Attaches to 2020 aluminium T-slot rail via 2× M5 T-nuts.
//
// Port access:
// USB-C port — X end wall cutout (connector protrudes through)
// CAN terminal — X+ end wall cutout (CANH / CANL / GND wire exit)
// LED status window— slot in Y+ side wall, PCB top-face LEDs visible
//
// Retention: snap-fit cantilever lips on both side walls (PETG flex).
// Cable strain relief: zip-tie boss pair on X+ shelf (CAN wires).
//
// ⚠ VERIFY WITH CALIPERS BEFORE PRINTING:
// PCB_L, PCB_W board outline
// USBC_W, USBC_H USB-C shell at X edge
// TERM_W, TERM_H 3-pos terminal block at X+ edge
// LED_X_CTR, LED_WIN_W LED window position on Y+ wall
//
// Print settings (PETG):
// 3 perimeters, 40 % gyroid infill, no supports, 0.2 mm layer
// Print orientation: open face UP (as modelled)
//
// BOM:
// 2 × M5×10 BHCS + 2 × M5 slide-in T-nut (2020 rail)
//
// Export commands:
// openscad -D 'RENDER="mount"' -o canable_mount.stl canable_mount.scad
// openscad -D 'RENDER="assembly"' -o canable_assembly.png canable_mount.scad
