Thanks for your work on this. It's exactly what I was looking for to wall mount some electronics doodads! And thanks for uploading it to makerworld where the customizer actually works. :-)

This is a sort of feature request for the generic thing holder. It allows for a single optional cord cut-out, which is always on the bottom. The first two doodads I wanted to use it with both had three cords of sorts coming out. I worked around that by just making the cord cut-out pretty big and fiddling with the Y positioning.

  • It would be more elegant if I could specify multiple cut-outs individually with respect to size and location. In my case, the spacing between the cords is not at regular intervals.
  • I don't know how important this is, but not all cord cut-outs need to be rounded. For example, a cut-out for a network cable would be better as a rectangle.
  • Finally, cut-out can be needed for sides other than the bottom or even multiple sides. The open top takes care of that side, but left and right are still blocked.
  • All of these can be a bit of a UI pain for OpenSCAD customization. Sorry!

I know I can take care of all of those things with negative spaces in my slicer, but it would be more convenient if the OpenSCAD model allowed for them. I know I'm suggesting a potentially elaborate piece of work for you, so sorry about that. :-)
