Radiator fix

[Carsten Arnholm]

AngelCAD was used to design a part in order to fix a broken radiator, and the result turned out well, the radiator can be used again! Image of printed part is attached.

More images as well as STL for this part can be found at  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3900987

Source code for the part follows
The code illustrates 2d and 3d features of AngelCAD, plus using variables for parametric modeling.
