2026-06-06 (Sa) TerminalBlockLabels IRL measurements

I was finally ready to test some real-world dimensions, so I measured a couple of terminal blocks my company was using, both from Phoenix Contact. They were UT4 line and STTB 1,5. A couple of the dimensions were difficult to measure, so I had to estimate. I sketched the trough for each model and drew dimensions by hand to double-check that my program was operating as expected and to visualize the model. I entered the parameters and rendered a few models without text. The text would have made the layer difficult to print with a filament printer, but at work, we have an LSL printer, which should not struggle with any geometries.

2026-04-17 I measured some terminal blocks we were using at work and sketched them on paper to visualize what I was doing. The sketch helped ensure that my proportions were not drastically out of line and that my program was functioning as I intended.
