Whenever I adjusted the angle, something would break, and the interior had numerous remnants. I focused on creating an area under the screen that would never impede the overall model. I created overlapping cubes to hollow out the interior on the screen side. I ensured the screen face was a uniform thickness at any angle and the bolt holes remained in the exact location. The trickiest part was adding a block in the center that adjusted its height as the angle changed, which required trigonometry. I had to dust off those skills, but it was more intuitive than I recall from high school. After I finished the grueling model, I had an epiphany about creating the hollow space by using the same hull() function that the outside used, which would not require any trig. I still want the trig functions for when I create a couple of bolt sleeves on the top.
