$fn=16;

difference()
{
cube([5,5,5], center=true);
#cylinder(d=1.5, h=12, center=true); // part A
}

cylinder(d=1, h=15, center=true); // part B

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you want to use the # for. Its normally only for
diagnostics.

How about this:

$fn=16;

difference()
{
cube([5,5,5], center=true);
wire(); // part A
}

wire();

module wire(){
cylinder(d=1, h=15, center=true); // part B
color("red")cylinder(d=1.5, h=12, center=true); // part A
}

Do you want to generate a pipe with those two lines A and B? Or am I missing
something...
I use this generic module to generate my tubes.

DefaultSides=90;

module Tube(Length,Dout,Din,Sides)
{
NSides= (Sides < 3 || Sides==undef) ? DefaultSides : Sides;

rotate_extrude(convexity=2, $fn=NSides) translate([Din/2,0,0]) 
    square([(Dout-Din)/2,Length]);

}
Tube();

Regards

The cube has a cylindrical hole cut vertically through it.
Inside this is a thinner rod.
They are not connected together in any place.
We can't work out what sort of object you are trying to make.

You could add a flattened cube at the bottom and thereby make a mold kind-of
object to perhaps pour goop into to make tubes, but not sure what this
object is trying to acheive so not sure how to answer your question.
