Gridfinity: bin generation - add a top bevel parameter

[PJMCL1618033]

Hello Stefan,

A suggestion for the Gridfinity bin object is to add a 0.25mm bevel to its top edge. A parameter button to add or not add a top edge bevel would save some modification steps.

Thanks

@PJMCL1618033 thanks for the idea. At the moment the top edge of the Gridfinity bin is left sharp on purpose, and you can add the 0.25 mm bevel with the edge tool: select the top edges of the bin and apply a chamfer. There is no switch for it on the bin itself yet.

@mlugo-apx, you made the Gridfinity shape. Would a "top bevel" option on the bin be something you would like to add?

@henmedia @PJMCL1618033 yes, I would be glad to add it. A switch on the bin, off by default so existing bins stay as they are, that bevels the sharp top edge of the lip where the outside wall meets the slope. 0.25 mm as asked, unless you would rather have the size as a value too. The bin stays an exact body, so fillets and STEP keep working, and it comes with the MCP field, the guide and the tests as the other options did. I would print a stacked pair before the pull request to check the bevel does not change how bins sit on each other.

@mlugo-apx that sounds great, thank you. A switch that is off by default is just right. About the size as a value too: I leave that to you, whatever fits the other options of the bin best. I am glad you will print a stacked pair first.

@PJMCL1618033 the bevel you asked for is in 1.106.0, built by @mlugo-apx: a Gridfinity bin with the stacking lip has Lip chamfer under Stacking lip, from 0 to 1 mm, so 0.25 mm is one value away. It is the same chamfer the edge tool makes, and a bin stacked on top still sits as before. Reload the page to get it; the installed app needs a restart.
