"Key" top to base #34

Hopefully it's obvious to everyone which way the top goes on the base, but to prevent permanently locking the top in the wrong orientation one of the corners on the underside of the base could have a larger diameter round on it or none at all. Similar change made to the base.

We already do something similar to make sure the lid can't be attached in the wrong direction. The top would not lock into the base if off by 90 degrees, but it would at 180 degrees. There are a few ways we could prevent this, such as putting the side latches at different distances.

I'd like to implement this at some point, but to fix it will require changes to the injection mold which could add a month of delay to production. Unless we think lots of people will make this mistake, I'm going to mark this as something we should do for the v2 hardware.
