Good, I was thinking about the same solution myself.
But what to do when the pieces involved are not so easily bent?
Consider the attached simple model, which corresponds to the top right inset in http://www.peeron.com/scans/8855-1/7. I think everything is correct, yet the holes in red pieces don't match the holes in yellow one. What would be the recommended solution? Move the red part 1 unit anyway, even if it causes an overlap? Apply some skew (0.025 in the z,z component of the matrix) to it?
Also, the diagonal bricks in steps 6 and 9 of the same instructions do not fix exactly, as far as I could compute, so I just scaled their length slightly above or below 1, which is hardly noticeable visually. Do you think this is a good solution?
