Very versatile tile that can descend 5mm, accommodate any rotation angle, and merge multiple inputs!

This is a version that supports a 5mm gradient.
10mm gradient version is here : https://www.printables.com/model/1048017-versatile-10mm-gradient-tile-for-gravitrax

When building Gravitrax courses using only genuine parts, I've always been frustrated by the lack of tiles that allow for a 5mm or 10mm drop while also curving at 60 or 120 degrees.
Various designers have created models to address this, and I've printed and used many of them. However, I still face some challenges:
- To accommodate the numerous combinations of drop height (5mm or 10mm) and turn angle (60, 120, or 180 degrees), I need to print multiple models for each variation. This results in a significant number of prints.
- There are very few models that allow multiple "5mm or 10mm drop, 60 or 120 degree turn" paths to merge into one.
To address these issues, I've designed a new tile. After many iterations and failures, I've finally arrived at this 5 in 1 out tile.
It can accommodate turns of 60, 120, or 180 degrees with a single tile and can also be used to merge multiple paths.

As you'll find when you try to design, smoothly joining 60-degree short curves is incredibly challenging. This has forced me to rework many of my concepts and designs.
Additionally, tiles with a slope naturally require a sloping design for the entire tile, but I wanted to maximize the usable surface area of the tile by using my custom "Spider Spacers".

As a result, the top surface of the tile is flat. I apologize for the somewhat crude appearance.

I'm not entirely satisfied with the design, but I think it will serve its purpose!
