I really liked butchja's 2020 frame brace, but I wanted to use threaded rods readily available at my local hardware stores. So instead of just modified his file to accept 3/8" threaded rods, I designed a openscad file to try to replicate the original design as best as possible.
The included stl file is for the 3/8" threaded rod at a 45 degree angle.
About the OpenSCAD file:
The openscad file is a bit rough, a few hardcoded numbers inside the main rendering function, but it works.
The nut inset needs to be adjusted (nut don't go that far down.)
Only certain degrees is going to work in the openscad file, I have no checks in place for out of bound angles.
I don't know how to do rounded edges in openscad, but that shouldn't be a problem.
