clip 

clip()

Cuts the view along XZ

rectangle_canister_assembly 

rectangle_canister_assembly(tube_height, model)

Creates all parts placed in the right location and returns them as a dict.

This is only interesting for generating previews as the tube, positions and rotations are not interesting for printing.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
tube_height float

Tube height

 required
model RectangleCanisterBase

Rectangle canister variant

 required

Returns:

Type Description
dict[str, Any]

dict[str, Any]: A dict with the Canister object, tube, top cap, bottom cap and lid
