Plate size
Screw holes

Side is left/right. Top and bottom pairs move on their own.

Pocket around each hole

The recess curves around the hole, then runs straight to the side. It only also opens to the top or bottom when the hole is close enough that the pocket reaches that edge. Further down the board you get a U into the side only, like a real Airbus panel.

Cutouts

Optional rounded windows for e.g. Stream Deck under the plate. 1×1 is a single opening.

Mounting brackets

Two strips the length of that pair of edges. Width is set from the plate holes. Generate STL includes both brackets beside the plate.

Edge emboss

A thin raised lip around the outer edge of the plate — not a surface texture. Width is how wide that lip is. Depth is how high it sits (0.1 mm steps). The flat face inside is finished with Bambu ironing, not by modelling grit into the STL.
