Five-Nozzle Food Depositing Head Housing

Create a compact structural housing for a five-nozzle food depositing head. The housing is a 100 mm wide, 70 mm high and 25 mm deep rectangular body. Keep the outside shape simple with flat faces and 90 degree corners. On the front face, create five cylindrical through-holes for five stainless steel nozzle assemblies. The holes pass completely through the 25 mm depth. All five holes have parallel axes perpendicular to the front face and a 6 mm diameter. Arrange the five nozzle holes horizontally across the centre of the body. The hole centres are positioned at X coordinates of -36 mm, -18 mm, 0 mm, +18 mm and +36 mm. The vertical position of all five holes is at the centre of the body. This creates exactly 18 mm centre-to-centre spacing between adjacent nozzle holes and 72 mm between the first and fifth nozzle centres. Label the five nozzle positions from left to right as N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5. Add four 5 mm diameter cylindrical mounting holes through the 25 mm depth of the body. Position them symmetrically near the four corners. Place the upper holes at X = -42 mm and +42 mm, Y = +27 mm. Place the lower holes at X = -42 mm and +42 mm, Y = -27 mm. The final object should be one solid rectangular carrier with nine cylindrical through-holes: five nozzle holes and four mounting holes. Do not create fillets, chamfers, curved external surfaces, ribs, slots, cavities, internal fluid passages, tubing channels, fan mounts or heater mounts. The five nozzle positions and 18 mm spacing are critical dimensions.
