Assembly example seem incomplete/to contain errors?

Hello wolfwood. I tried to download OpenSCAD and open the assembly file to check out your project, but some things seem incorrect.

1. The top keys for the middle finger and ring finger overlap with the keys below, creating impossible geometry. I think the mounting holes for them got shifted down somewhere along the line?
2. There seem to be some issues with different assets in the scene. A box on the side is rotated peculiarly, I'm not seeing a base plate like in your preview image on the repository, and perhaps other stuff is missing too

I have no experience whatsoever with OpenSCAD, so perhaps my knowledge is simply lacking here, but I'm not really in a position to learn OpenSCAD from scratch at the moment to understand all the intricacies and fix mistakes. I love what you've made here and I would very much like like an 'out of the box' sample that simply works, if possible. Could you have a look if the current files are correct? Cheers :)

the plate is displayed in debug mode by default to speed up rendering. you can use assembly/plate.scad to render it or find the line base_plate(debug=true); and change to false.

that set of magnet mounts is intentional, it allows the user to switch between tented and vertical typing orientations. it is controlled by the vertical argument to the plate() module.

I will take a look at the key overlap.

Thanks for taking the time!

I had another look, and with the base rendered in, the magnet mount's presence does make more sense. Guess it really was my lack of knowledge of the software and your design :)

There are some other questions about the project I might want to ask, though they aren't really 'issues' worth logging here like the key overlap, mostly some general inquiries. Is there another place where I can reach out to you that might be more convenient to talk? Or do you prefer me to just say my points in this thread still?

I'm w0lfwood on discord if that works
