as in previous commit, this simplifies the build of the side frame piece
a bit. notably on this one, the preview of the piece is more performant,
so I'm thinking this is a good move. the object triangle count and
volume are slightly different (not sure why), but the object dimensions
are the same
still didn't get rid of any 2-manifold errors though :(

this saves one operation and removes a bit of the artifacts. didn't seem
to help the 2-manifold stuff I was looking at, but this is slightly
clearer anyway?

the piece was not meant to be printed (at least not until/unless there
is a side that extends out the extra length of the front and back, which
seems unlikely), but the piece is used to create the inner wall that
juts out through windowed pieces, so we're going to keep it and just
stash it in front-or-back.scad

this looks kind of neat and helps the build feel of the horizontal
stripe windows, which were a bit flimsy without something sticking
through them

also do the same thing for a "longish" front/back, since I want to play
around with windowed structural strength with this piece

adds a bit of length to the build but without the longer polygon
geometry. the name of this is terrible, I think I might get rid of the
angled corner pieces in a refactoring

squeezing 6 in made the structure pretty stringy and unsatisfying to
handle, this should be better

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.

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

no particular reference for this, just took some "slashes" and cut them
out of the walls with the expectation of using the inner wall in a
different color. designed, as much as I'd call it a design, for the Eva
stick, but this is mostly just me trying stuff at the moment

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
