<tcurdt->
the only way to rotate and translate a shape/body (at the same time) is the (external) list-comprehension/sweep, right?
<tcurdt->
I want to make a slot for a screw head
<tcurdt->
(and make it a bit more fancy than just a hull)

tcurdt- translate()rotate() works at the same time - but you can use a multmatrix where you can do this too

maybe if you show an image of the result you try to archive, i might show you a path.

tcurdt-: In the day 24 Christmas tree on the 2024 advent calendar, I made extensive use of multmatrix to illustrate its unique potential (since it is rarely used) as an example of how it can to some elaborate combinations of rotations and translations all at once.

A single rotate and translate at once is much simpler, and was already documented in the manual.

Multimatrix is really powerful but it doesn't trivially map to any physical operation in my head, I should really put some effort into learning more advanced bits at some point

InPhase linked to "Drop-in M4 and M5 T-slot Nuts for 80/20 Aluminum Extrusion by rcolyer" on thingiverse => 3 IRC mentions
<InPhase>
They rotate into place in the extrusion slots, and lock without further turning because of the shape.
<InPhase>
It's a shape available commercially in metal form, but might inspire another mechanism to slide and rotate things into place for an attachment into a slot.
