Putting the open brace on a separate line chews up whitespace and

additional separation does not normally seem appropriate.
I indent and newline children, whether inbuilt children or modules.

Two letter variables are reserved for, well reserved meaning - e.g.
differencing two objects which have one or more matching dimensions
causes lots of compute time to resolve the overlaps, so I assign a
consistent variable which always represents a small delta in axis
direction or dimension, and for 3d printing, a simple pa - for print
allowance - to increase the size of holes to compensate for undersized
holes.
Yes. Similarly for one-letter variables.
