//! 3D offset using `minkowski` with a `sphere`, so very slow if `$fn` is not kept small. The offset can be positive or negative.
//!
//! Can be used to round corners. Positive offsets will round convex corners, negative offsets round concave corners. To round both use [`round_3D()`](#round).
//!
//! If `chamfer_base` is true then the bottom edge is made suitable for 3D printing by chamfering when the angle gets shallower than 45 degrees.
