Broken OpenSCAD file - I have no idea what I'm doing lol
Hello All!
Hopefully someone much smarter than myself can help me out.
I found this miter slot runner on thingiverse:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3973092
The openscad file doesn't work. A guy in the comments said, "There's a
difference call that operates on nothing. I commented it out, it works now."
I have to be honest, I have no idea what this means. I tired google and
youtube.and quickly realized that I am a bit over my head.
Would someone mind taking a look and letting me know what specifically I
need to do to make this work? I see I can go to Edit -> Comment. Which I
assume is what he means by "commented it out".
I don't know if this helps. It might be easier to grab it from thingiverse
if your able and willing to help. Thanks in advance.
module tslot(t){
translate([(-slot_length/2)+(slot_length*(t/1.4)), 0, 0])
intersection(){
difference(){
union(){
// groove
translate([-slot_length/2, -groove_width/2, 0])
cube([slot_length,groove_width,groove_height], 0);
// slot
translate([-slot_length/2, -slot_width/2, groove_height])
cube([slot_length,slot_width,slot_height], 0);
}
// screw cutout
cylinder(h=slot_height + groove_height, d=screw_width);
// nut cutout
cylinder(h=nut_height, d=nut_width, $fn=6);
}
// slot
difference(){
}
// Round corner edges
scale([1,.85,1])
cylinder(h=slot_height, d=slot_length);
}
}
for (i =[1:slot_segments]){
tslot(i);
}
.
I haven't tried it but the comment means remove these three lines:
// slot
difference(){
}
It creates an empty object which makes the intersection empty but
probably didn't on older versions of OpenSCAD.

"There's a difference call
difference()
that operates on nothing.
{ /* nothing */ }
comment it out,
// difference(){
// }
then it works"
(see attachment)
