The parameters define most dimensions so I can easily specify the size and send a rail to the slicer for 3D-printing. At the slicer a rail can be duplicated and reflected to enable printing two pairs (the normal requirement). I print at a thickness of 1.2mm (three times the width of the nozzle), this produces a rigid rail that prints quickly. The vertical flange only needs to extend enough so clamps fit securely. The width of the bottom flange determines the rigidity of the corner and sides. A wider bottom flange also help assure the rail will stick better to the heated bed of the printer.
