// ===== Info =====
// IMPORTANT: rendering will be better for analyzing the model if fast-csg is enabled. As of writing, this feature is only available in the development builds and not the official release of OpenSCAD, but it makes rendering only take a couple seconds, even for comically large bins. Enable it in Edit > Preferences > Features > fast-csg
// the plane that is the top of the internal bin solid is d_height+h_base above z=0
// the magnet holes can have an extra cut in them to make it easier to print without supports
// tabs will automatically be disabled when gridz is less than 3, as the tabs take up too much space
// examples are at the end of the file

These values should all be positive. t is the tab style of the compartment (0:full, 1:auto, 2:left, 3:center, 4:right, 5:none). s is a toggle for the bottom scoop.
