Programmatically generate dovetail storage grid trays.

This file is an example of how to programmatically generate a set of trays
with specified combination of parameters. Must be executed in an environment
with CadQuery installed, usually at a command line.

Modify as needed to generate trays to suit your needs.

See dovetailstoragegrid.py for documentation on what each parameter means.

Alternatively see for_cq-editor.py for an example using CQ-Editor GUI tool.

See CadQuery documentation on file export formats to see options other than
STL files. For example, you can export STEP for further customization in
CAD tool of your choice.
