This is a simple snap-fit joints library based on "Snap-Fit Joints for Plastics - A Design Guide" by Bayer MaterialScience LLC .

The idea is to correctly dimension the snap-fit joints, according to the elongation at break that can withstand.
-The global variable eps define the material (e.g. PLA: eps=0.03; ABS: eps=0.06)
-The dimension are the same reported on Design Guide. For simple cantilever snap it
