retain a bit of the inner wall on the outer piece for windowed pieces
the inner wall piece being the *whole* inner wall of the frame side
meant that the (now relatively thin) outer wall piece was not supported
by anything on the top and bottom, which combined with the already weak
piece because of the window, gave the edges a lot of give.

shrinking the inner wall piece slightly retains some of the material on
the outer piece, which should friction fit the top and bottom with both
the inner wall piece, and with the panels, leading to a lot more clamp
when everything is secured.

favor symmetry in the front/back and side wall windowed pieces
I think the lack of symmetry led to a varying amount of force being
applied when joined with the interconnect. take for instance:

OUTER  INTER  INNER
INTER  INTER  INTER
INNER  INTER  OUTER

if OUTER (the "windowed" piece, the outside wall + one half of the
mounting column) is on top on the left side and on the bottom on the
right side, and INNER (the inner wall, the one that floats around
relative to the outer wall) vice versa on the other side, the two pieces
side by side would not create a clean line --- left would be ~0.5mm
lower than the right.

if there was a way to clamp these down relative to each other, the
problem might go away, but these are pretty pivotal to the overall stick
being aligned and the panels don't cross the interconnect, so probably
panels and a completed stick would have been similarly misaligned.

this, I believe, fixes it, and also fixes a tiny issue where a bit too
much material was being cut out of the inner walls by way of the mount
columns having a triangular point not normally seen because it's inside
the inner wall

add box pieces for a vent kind of look
no particular reference for this, just took some "slashes" and cut them

start some frame pieces that have openings for decoration
essentially, the whole inner wall and part of the outer wall gets cut
out of the piece, and a new inner wall piece (probably printed in a
different color, or with some design of its own) created that can be
seen through the outer wall's window

multiple window and inner options are possible, this is just the start
while I do other organization

fix the extended pieces, sans 45 degree box corner
box pieces having a 45 degree cut for the corners looks very nice, and
works well, but the cut interferes with the extended piece options, so
this reuses the pieces to take ones with the 45 degree lip cut off,
which would be combined with the flush extended pieces, much like how
things used to work for these pieces before I made the box pieces use
said cut.

this also commits a demo of combining everything extended-style

phew
