Hi Steve,
I have made a change in jigs_unit.lfm and uploaded it to GitHub. You may want to fetch this.
After some testing making the filing jigs on the Klipper-based FDM printer (Neptune 4), I found that the rail grooves were coming out much tighter than on the Marlin-based printers. So I have increased the rail-width groove pre-set from 0.92mm to 0.98mm. This is working ok with C&L/EMGS code75 rail.
Note that this dimension is a fixed default pre-set and not related to the model scale or the selected model rail section. It is intended that users will make some test prints and set the grove width to suit the rail they are using. (It is much faster to make some test prints if you temporarily set the jig thickness much thinner, say 2.4mm.)
cheers,
Martin.
