Description: Get outside diameter, in mm, of a standard lmXuu bearing.

Argument	What it does
`size`	Inner size of lmXuu bearing, in mm.

Description: Get length, in mm, of a standard lmXuu bearing.

Argument	What it does
`size`	Inner size of lmXuu bearing, in mm.

Description: Creates a model of a clamp to hold a generic linear bearing cartridge.

Argument	What it does
`d`	Diameter of linear bearing. (Default: 15)
`l`	Length of linear bearing. (Default: 24)
`tab`	Clamp tab height. (Default: 7)
`tabwall`	Clamp Tab thickness. (Default: 5)
`wall`	Wall thickness of clamp housing. (Default: 3)
`gap`	Gap in clamp. (Default: 5)
`screwsize`	Size of screw to use to tighten clamp. (Default: 3)
`orient`	Orientation of the housing. Use the `ORIENT_` constants from `constants.scad`. Default: `ORIENT_X`.
`align`	Alignment of the housing by the axis-negative (size1) end. Use the `V_` constants from `constants.scad`. Default: `V_UP`

Example:

linear_bearing_housing(d=19, l=29, wall=2, tab=6, screwsize=2.5);
