The current pin shape being a right-angle triangle causes issues with sound quality.
Barrels are traditionally made with pins that stick out like pillars; while the GCODE may need this triangle for support, properly tuned printers should be able to print small overhangs with no problem.
Would you be able to add a variable to change the shape of the pins?
I was able to change them to rectangles with some tuning but I am unable to figure out how to thin them.

Hello, I initially tried pillar pins but it didn't print well.
If you want to try, you can modify the formula to compute the alpha value.

Something like this should give you a thin pin but I doubt you can print it correctly unless you use a resin printer:
alpha = (bump_delta/2) * max(0.0, 10*(sheetY - int(sheetY))-8.0)
