Mesh not closed..

[gratefulfrog]

Hi,

My goal is to obtain the diameter of the top & bottom flat surfaces of a bevel gear. I could not find them in the echo outputs, although I do observe "ECHO: "Part Cone Diameter at the Cone Base = ", 30" but the dimension 30 does not correspond.

I have run into a mesh not closed error when I try to analyze the output gear with a 2D projection. This works fine if I do not use cut=true.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much for you work on this library!

code:

$fn=100;
use <gears.scad>
projection(cut=true)
bevel_gear(modul=1, tooth_number=30, partial_cone_angle=45, tooth_width=5, bore=4, pressure_angle=20, helix_angle=0);

The console output:
