Quick and dirty OpenSCAD model that lets you 3D print a physical obstruction that will do one of two things:
**Pin Solder Blocker** -- physically obstructs pin holes in a PCB so you don't solder headers to them (useful for the Pi Zero)
**Pin Header Blocker** -- physically obstructs the physical pins on a header so you can quickly and reliably plug jumper cables into the right spots every time (useful for a full-size Pi). Best printed on a resin printer, but if you choose not to, change the `[Pin_Width]` parameter if you run into issues with the holes being too small.
All variables are at the top and should be rather self-explanatory. Default settings are set up for a Pi Zero and Pi (respectively), but you WILL want to change the `[Open_Pins]` parameter. Any pin listed in that array will be left open. Any pin not in that array will be left blocked off
