Featurescript code writing

I would like to generate two functions but I'm having a hard time with the code writing to develop the features. One I would like to develop a feature that will allow me to put a lip around a part such as the inside of a phone case or something along those lines so that when I print the case on my 3D printer it will snap onto my phone. The other is a hinge feature so I can put a hinged cover on the case.

From https://www.onshape.com/featurescript, you could also access the "End Flange" feature that might be a good starting point for the lip feature.
On the hinge, here's a feature that evaluates points along a line :

Using those points, along with several calls to fCylinder and opBoolean, it should be possible to make a custom hinge. Let us know if you have further questions or run into issues!
