Hi there - thank you so much for creating this! I recently ordered some boards from JLCPCB, and selected the finger chamfering option as that's generally best practice for edge connectors, and it didn't really affect the price after adding gold finger plating anyway.

However, they soon contacted me and pointed out that while the actual connector would be fine, the non-functional (cosmetic) fingers on the edges of the cart have a copper trace that would be damaged by the chamfering (see attached image) because it extends nearly to the bottom.

I don't think this trace has any functional purpose, so I approved it anyway, though it may look a bit weird to have that small edge of copper exposed.

Would it be possible to add a version of the files that removes these traces or moves them further from the bottom edge to support chamfering? I'd be happy to give it a shot myself if you can provide the original design files (editing Gerbers is almost impossible).

Thank you!
