      I made the horizontal edge at the higher end narrower to keep the same angle on the sides as at the lower end. I also revised the interior to eliminate the same issue.

          Makes you wish you'd paid more attention in high school geometry, doesn't it? 😉

              Hmm...that one you made. Why isn't it symmetrical? From the top corners to the vertical axis it is 3.3 and 3.7mm? The two slopes are different angles? Man this this is confusing me hard haha

                All I did is use the angles you drew at the shorter end. I didn't change them. You had the angles different to begin with. What angle do you want them to be? Or maybe more to the point, what are the critical dimensions?

                  I am more of a noob that I thought haha. I gotta go back to the drawing board I think. Slope should be equal on both sides. Only a couple mm's on each side. But I will have to whip out the calipers and see what is what

                    Maybe it is time to start fresh with a new SketchUp model.

                      Yep that is what I am thinking. But first...supper time

                        Maybe it'll make more sense on a full stomach, too.
