Just like doing port displacement for the dowels...pi x radius2 x length... if the only 45 is in your port bend I would not even worry about subtracting it from the overall volume... if it's only one dowel, I wouldn't even worry about it... it's so minimal it'll change nothing... it's like .014 for 1 I think at 13.5" long

45's will be in the 4 corners they be like 4" wide 14.5 tall , plan on using about about 60" of dowel for bracing

I figured it at .33 ft3 total

Ok thanks sure it's not gonna make a huge difference I'll figure in between. 25-.33 depending on how much of the dowel I use

Thanks shredder
