What
This PR adds a new labware definition for a 3D-printed OpenTrons 24-well tube rack with a shorter stand height:
New helper/definition: opentrons_24_tuberack_generic_1point5ml_snapcap_short(...)
Intended for 1.5 mL snap-cap tubes in a 24-well format

Why
The shorter stand improves deck clearance versus the default rack, particularly when using certain OT modules, and/or 1000 µL tips where vertical clearance can be tight.

References

  1. 3D print: Thingiverse (3405002)
  2. Geometry reference/spec basis: OpenTrons 24-well 1.5 mL rack JSON definition

Notes
This is a non-breaking additive change: it introduces a new rack option without modifying existing labware definitions.

is this something you designed or OT? that will dictate where in the docs/ code this resource should go

The “30 mm shorter” base stand appears to be a community 3D-printed modification. It is not a OT product offering.

in that case I think we should document it and put the place in diy rather than under opentrons?
