I've defined the height to be 6 in the following assignments. When I parse
out each individual segment, the numbers are correct, yet when the model is
created, it is 12 high.

Is this an undocumented feature, or have I created a typo I am unable to
recognize?

thanks
fred

Minkowski adds up all dimensions, also the height. So you have to use
spindle_base_height = 3;

Why? Otherwise this code wouldn't work:

w = spindle_base_diameter / sqrt(2) - (2 * mink_radius);
minkowski()
{
cube([w,w,h]);
sphere(spindle_base_height);
}
