Playing with it a little more I've come across some bugs... I will keep working on it and update as I repair things. In the meantime if you're having trouble getting things working try constructing something at a similar scale to this…

Here's a newer version. This one does layout and labeling too, and cuts slots in both the faces and the connectors, so it's easier to tell where to slide each piece in. The slots are calculated with a series of boolean operations, which is…
