Hi!

That width = width +2 thing is some of the worst coding I've ever seen, mine included!

The creator has put a variable assignment statement inside the parameter list of a function!
you only put the stuff that goes on the righthand side of the '=' there.

It's like writing LS_Width_parameter = width = width+2

Have you tried using 'width + 2' in there?

Now that I've tested it, there's a new error with the change recommended from the comment. Line 184 has a parameter in the module call reading "width = width + 2" which is not supported in OpenSCAD. I removed the plus two and it works, but I think all the similar modules will have to be corrected in this manner.

Hi Everyone

I am new to Openscad and would like some help please

I have downloaded a file from Thingiverse, ( parametric pulley belt ) which allows various timing belt profiles and sizes to be created, the problem is that each time I use the program no teeth appear on the belt and a pin or pulley is in the centre, the issue is with line 110, I have tried and failed to rectify this

Any ideas ?
