Performance Notes
Complex nested macros can slow rendering
Minimize unnecessary repeated operations
Use conditional rendering to reduce computational load
Keep modular macros for clarity and maintainability
Precompute constants outside loops when possible
Security Notes
Macros cannot execute external scripts; safe from arbitrary code execution
Ensure trusted sources when including external .scad files
Backup important macro libraries
Document macro usage to prevent misuse
Avoid including overly large libraries that may cause performance issues
Monitoring Analytics
Track rendering performance for complex assemblies
Monitor parameter variations in batch generation
Log errors for invalid macro calls
Analyze output STL models for correctness
Automate verification of design constraints
Code Quality
Use modular macros and parameter validation
Comment all macros and expected parameters
Test with edge-case values
Avoid deep nesting where possible
Maintain consistent naming and organization
