The main issue is, once again, Finger5 and only Finger5. Perhaps 5mm is too low. Perhaps it's that further-back square causing issues. I'll see if a value of 3.3mm is any good, since that also works geometric-aesthetically.

It could also be that Tetrinsic 2.0 has too much of a "bottom bezel".

The good news is that's more or less the only issue. Other findings from the print:

Difference between 8Ah and 10Ah options:

I like the look of [yellow] when looking from the perspective seen in the above image, [red] is where my finger actually is (at least the angle is fine) and [green] is what's preventing motion of said finger. 

I hate it when I've got this nice looking design but then one of the fingers has an issue, so then I've got to think of another nice looking design. I'm wondering if I should move Finger4 down to the same level and angle as Finger5, but then I'd lose the ordered look of Finger2-4 seen above.

I also like the look of this face:

The edge to that face is also stopping Finger5.

Unfortunately, I can't continue with Tetrinsic until I've got a viable solution. I can get away with TestCut because it's larger and I'm much more likely to have a solution, especially if there's one for TimeSpy.
