I think the key is to automate it, because they keep forgetting.
The low tech way is to put a post it note with M17 on the monitor.

Exactly I did the same but called them “Lock Steppers” but same difference. The issue is “me” not remembering to do that first thing in the morning when I come and and start up my job from last night. I’ve read up on the auto0.g and am hopeful this will work. Will test once my jobs for the day finish.
Thanks for reply though.
Did that too, however, it fell off overnight and I missed it

Think M24 but with some more features. 308 R700 action with detachable box magazine. This is my 1000yd rifle. I’ve had it on a composite stock for decade now (nothing wrong with the stock, just like making stuff like this).

I use Fusion 360 for my work, but I did experiment work FreeCAD a couple of years ago. If I am understanding you correctly you have a 3D object designed that represents a void within a larger object.
If this is true then I think you need to create the larger around the original object and then do a BOOLEAN operation to remove the original object from the larger object.
