I found that the original model nor the remix didn't really help prevent g twisting. That could be because I am using LDO extrusions where the slots seems to be a bit wider.
I also found that the wedge on the remix that goes into the vertical extrusion was largely unnecessary and made it harder to print. So I cut it down to the same thickness as the original part, removing the vertical wedge, but I kept the rest of it. In addition I removed the super thin walls on the top side.
After printing that I found that there was too much play from the tabs as they sit in the horizontal extrusion, and the extrusion was still able to twist fairly easily. So I modified it to fit the exact shape of the horizontal extrusion channel, while making sure it can still slot into the vertical extrusion. Now it provides a very snug feeling fit, and is much harder to twist.
I printed it in PolyLite ASA and found the fit to be tight but still ok, but I've also carefully calibrated my printer and ASA profile to print dimensionally accurate. YMMV
