Thanks for explaining ,amazing method! And amazing patience!

I was thinking about this problem. You could 3D print a "lug", which goes around the tube and lets you mark the cutting line directly on the tube with a sharpie. These "lugs" could have feet, so that one on each end of the tube puts the mitres perfectly in phase.

If you would like to try this I'm happy to design and print some for you, I'm curious if it works.

Probably a bit wasteful for single use. Every frame will have different angles and tube diameters. You can print off paper templates to wrap around the tubes that do this job fine albeit without the clocking
