Perfect. :cheers:

(14mm - 20mm) / 2 = -3mm

Add another -3mm wiggle room to allow for gravity dragging the housing down/back until the side of the housing screw holes rests against the screws.

The screw holes need to be offset -6mm on the Y-axis (toward the front) so Line 16 is now "HousingBoltYOffset = -6;".

Here's the updated code and a .zip with all of the .scad and .stl files.

--- Code: ---// Wedge for mounting metal Star Wars yoke housing by Jasonbar. v1.1

// Use #12 x 3/4" sheet metal screws.

HousingBoltY = 87; // Metal housing mount bolt hole center-to-center Y-axis distance
HousingBoltXOffset = 0; // Metal housing mount bolt pattern X-axis offset distance from center
HousingBoltYOffset = -6; // Metal housing mount bolt pattern Y-axis offset distance from center

BasePlateX = 125; // Base plate X-axis width (bottom face of the wedge)
BasePlateY = 150; // Base plate Y-axis depth (bottom face of the wedge)

///////////// Rendered in blue /////////////

BasePlateBoltY = 120; // Base plate diamond mount bolt pattern Y-axis center-to-center distance from center
BasePlateBoltXOffset = 0; // Base plate diamond mount bolt pattern X-axis offset distance from center
BasePlateBoltYOffset = 0; // Base plate diamond mount bolt pattern Y-axis offset distance

FrontDrop = 70; // Right angle drop height at front of wedge
BackHeight = 3; // Height at back of wedge

BackHollowScaleY = 1.4; // Y-axis scale for BackHollowDia
BackHollowHeight = 35; // Back hollow height
BackHollowOffsetX = 42; // Back hollow X-axis offset from center hollow
BackHollowOffsetY = 28; // Back hollow Y-axis offset from center hollow

DrillTempThick = 3.1; // Drill template thickness

// Number of fragments (polygon sides) used to render a full circle.
$fn = 180; // Default = 180 Typical range = 6 - 360
// 6 will render a circular hole as a hexagon, 8 will render a circular hole as an octagon.
// Lower the number for faster rendering, raise the number for smoother rendering.

PL1:
Telengard tried the printed wedge and it ended up being way too tall on his cab. :banghead:

If you have the same issue, here's a countersunk yoke mount model.

Huge shout out to PL1 (Scott), he did another rev of the mount and it is absolutely perfect! The first one was totally my fault, I really needed to measure/mockup better beforehand. :laugh2:
