I started a thread over on lugnet.cad.dev about a part I had made at home.
I'm including an snippet of the original message here:

What I found was that others have also used this method. Most referenced
the 1 X 1 with side loop as being the element modified. Actually, one
person would clip the part into two pieces and the other came from from a
reference to the Gender Changer thread in this group in which the part was
already broken in two.
Now, after all that, what I'm wondering is; are there any other little tips
or tricks along this line out there. Putting aside any other manufacturer's
parts and remaining strictly with LEGO, that is.
