hello, excellent review!
instead of the last step, rectangle, to hold the letters, how to create a top for the INDIVIDUAL letters, so you have HOLLOW UNCONNECTED letters?

I am a beginner beginner at scad, i can use it from models of thingiverse, but have not learned its intricacies.
all i want to do, for example, is create a top cover for the "D" (not the center of the "D"

any help to refine the code is appreciated

what i really want are hollow letters, for christmas decoration use. - solid front face, hollow sides, i can then put light in; and i can also make solid flat letter, to glue to the back, and then i can string these together, for example
and also how to make the FACE of the letter be more than a couple layers thick, for example, about 2.4 mm, for improved strength

"My family wishes you a Merry Christmas", and hang it on front of house.

i can import letters to Sketchup, add a hook to it, etc
