## Notes

- A standard craft (popsicle) stick is 114 × 10 × 2 mm (4.5 in long) with fully rounded ends.
- The jumbo stick is 150 × 18 × 2 mm, also with fully rounded ends.
- Both files are a stadium outline (two straight sides and two semicircular ends) extruded 2 mm, drawn at the stick's nominal size.
- I use them as frame members on the no-budget can engine.
