Hey, I'm looking for some help creating a set of parametric OpenSCAD files for designing miniature furniture models. I'm moving this summer and I thought it would be cool to plan out my new space by 3D printing scaled-down versions of my furniture.

I'd like to be able to specify the dimensions of the furniture in real-world units (like inches, feet, centimeters or meters) and then have the models scale appropriately, so I'll need parameters for both the real-world units and the scale of the model. For instance, if I measure something in inches and want it in 1:50 scale, that needs to be reflected in the design. It should also have a way to adjust the faceting, for smoother curves.

The core functionality should allow for several different furniture types: bookcases (with a variable number of shelves), tables, desks, corner desks, chairs (with a parameter to switch between straight desk chairs and rolling office chairs), stools, sofas, sofa beds (with an extended depth dimension), ottomans, beds, bed frames, bureaus (with variable drawer levels), rugs, lamps, trees, arcade machines, and also a clearance token which is a star shape.

I'd like to be able to switch between designing my own custom versions of each of these or choosing from a library of pre-defined dimensions. For the bookcase library I want a set of standard IKEA Billy bookcases with both wide and thin, short and tall, and regular and deep versions and also include the IKEA Hemnes and Bonde models as well. The bed library should include twin, full, queen, and king mattress and frame options, along with an IKEA Karlstad sofa bed. The other stock library should include several different dining tables, a coffee table, end tables, kid's desks, a TV stand, dining and office chairs, a kitchen stool, a sofa, loveseat, armchair, kid's bureau, rug, a standing lamp, a decorative tree, an arcade machine, and two sizes of clearance tokens.

I'd need to define length, depth, and height for most of the objects, along with number of shelves (for bookcases), number of drawers (for bureaus), and radius for stools, trees, and lamps. And then depth when extended, for sofa beds. I'd also like the models to have slightly rounded edges - nothing too severe, just enough to soften the look of the models, but allow me to switch to sharper edges as well.

I think that's everything. Can you generate the OpenSCAD code for that? I'm not familiar with any existing libraries that would be appropriate for this.

Hey, I'm looking to get a custom storage solution designed for the board game Galaxy Trucker, specifically the Anniversary Edition. I need a set of stackable boxes and a central stick to hold them all together. I've seen some designs out there that do this, but I want a parametric design that I can tweak myself later.

Here's what I'm thinking. I need three main boxes, and a stick, which all stack on top of each other, plus I need a lid for it all. Each box should have a space inside for tokens, and they should be sized for the different types of tokens in the game, which include positive credits, negative credits, energy stones, start ship pieces, astronauts and cargo. I'd like to have 8 token spaces in total. Two of these should be sized differently to accommodate the negative credits. The others will be sized for the positive credits. I'm thinking I need to be able to label them, somehow.

The boxes should have rounded corners. And I'd also like a "takeout slit" in the side of each box. They should also have holes in the sides for airflow, I think. And also a hole in the bottom of each box to reduce printing time.

The stick needs to be sturdy and fit snugly in a hole in the bottom of the boxes, allowing me to lift all the stacked boxes at once. I also need a holder for the stick in the base box, plus a pyramid type support below it.

I would like to be able to customize the following: the overall height of the stack, the thickness of the walls, the wiggle room for parts so they slide together smoothly, the corner radius of the boxes, and the size of the text for labels. I'd also like to be able to turn off the holes in the bottom of each box for faster rendering.

I'd like to include the "write" library to write the labels on the boxes. I need to be able to select which part I generate from the output of the OpenSCAD files by a parameter.

Oh, and I would also like an additional, shorter set of boxes (just two boxes high), and a shorter stick, and its own lid.

Finally, the stick should be printable on its side so the layers are more sturdy.

Could you generate that for me?

wiggle=.25;

//Height of the stacked boxes

Galaxy trucker token storage
Version N, November 2017
Written by MC Geisler (mcgenki at gmail dot com)

This file defines 3 boxes and a central stick for the board game 'Galaxy Trucker'. It holds all credits, energy stones, start ship pieces, astronauts and cargo for the game including all extensions (the special edition).

Now there is also a SmallBox available after popular request...

Sorry for the use of German for variable names.
Have fun!

[User]
Okay, I'm looking to design a 3D-printable enclosure for my modified SPC900NC webcam, which I use for astrophotography. The original design doesn't quite fit my setup because I've added an LX exposure controller and a small USB hub, making the module a bit larger.

I need a modular enclosure with three main parts: a top, a middle, and a bottom. I'd like the design to be parametric so I can adjust the dimensions easily. I also need to be able to choose between using my custom top piece, or the original Girobot top piece in the model. I would also like a solid version of the middle and bottom pieces, where the middle is printed on top of the bottom.

Here's a breakdown of the specifics:

**Overall Structure:**

*   The enclosure should have three distinct parts: a top, middle, and bottom.
*   The design should be parametric, with adjustable heights for each part.
*   I need the ability to choose between a custom top design or the original Girobot top piece (which will just be an imported STL).
*   I need a separate option for a solid bottom and middle part.

**Top Part:**

*   There should be two versions for the top part, one that is my custom design (a square top) and one that imports the "Adapter.stl" file.
*   The custom top should have a central hole and a nozzle-like extension to interface with my telescope.
*   It should include mounting holes (some of them with a clearance for screws), including ones for the top of the original mount.
*   I would like a small lip on the inside so that the middle part can fit into it
*   The custom version should be fully parametric, with parameters for height and the diameter of the central hole.

**Middle Part:**

*   The middle part should be a box-like structure with a cutout on the top and a lip on the bottom.
*   It should include a cutout for the USB hub out cable (this will be an option - I want to be able to disable it).
*   It should also include a cutout for a circular mounting hole on the back of the original mount.
*   For the solid version, it will sit directly on the bottom part (so no lip).
*   The height of the middle part should be adjustable.

**Bottom Part:**

*   The bottom part should be a box-like structure.
*   It should include cutouts for the mounting holes on the bottom of the original mount.
*   It should include a cutout for the USB hub cable (this will also be an option).
*   It should include a cutout for the camera mode switch (this will also be an option).
*   For the solid version, this piece will be slightly thicker (about 2mm) and the middle piece will sit on top of it.
*   The height of the bottom part should be adjustable.

**Parameters:**

*   `part`: A string parameter to select which part to generate ("all", "t", "m", or "b")
*   `ver`: An integer parameter (0, 1, or 2) to select the top style (0 for the Girobot top, 1 for a square top, 2 for a solid bottom/middle).
*   `usb`: A boolean parameter (0 or 1) to enable/disable the USB hub cutout in the middle and bottom parts.
*   `sw`: A boolean parameter (0 or 1) to enable/disable the camera mode switch cutout in the bottom part.
*   `hgt`: An integer parameter to adjust the height of the middle part.
*   `bhgt`: A float parameter to adjust the height of the bottom part.
*   `thgt`: A float parameter to adjust the height of the top part.
*   `ahgt`: A float parameter to adjust the height of the adapter nozzle on the top part.
*   `l`: A float parameter for some kind of tension easing layer that I'm not sure about, but it's set to 0.35 in the original file.

Could you generate the necessary OpenSCAD files to achieve this? I will need to use the import function to load "Adapter.stl". I also need to use the minkowski function, and cylinders/cubes, so you probably want to take a look at the documentation for those. The code I provided is just a conceptual starting point, please create the files from scratch, don't try to improve the provided files.

I need to design a herringbone gear set for a project, specifically for a servo mechanism we're working on. I've got some specific requirements and parameters I'd like to use. I'd like it to be parameterized so that the gears will be generated based on these parameters.

Specifically, I need two gears: an outer ring gear and a smaller internal gear that will mesh with the ring gear. The outer gear should have a larger inner diameter, while the inner gear should have a smaller one. The gears should also have a herringbone (double helical) tooth design, and I need to be able to control the thickness of the gears. I'd like to be able to set the number of teeth for the smaller gear, and then have the outer gear's number of teeth automatically be determined by the gear ratio that I provide.

Here are the parameters I'd like to be able to control:

*   `SmallInnerD`: The inner diameter of the smaller, internal gear.
*   `Teeth`: The number of teeth on the smaller gear.
*   `Ratio`: The gear ratio between the outer and inner gears. The outer gear's teeth count should be `Ratio * Teeth`.
*   `Thickness`: The thickness of both gears.
*   `Pressure Angle`: I think I want to be able to adjust this for the gear profiles
*   `Circular Pitch`: This parameter should also be available for modification, influencing the tooth size
*   `Helix Angle`: I would like to control the angle of the helical gear.

I'd also like the outer ring gear to be mirrored along the X-axis in the final output so it will actually mesh with the inner gear properly.

Could you generate an OpenSCAD file or files that will create this herringbone gear set, taking into account all of these parameters? I think you'll need to include functions for the involute tooth profiles. Please make sure it is well commented. I am imagining that you will use linear extrude for the herringbone shape. I don't have any specific libraries in mind.

Hey, I'm looking to get some custom card holders designed for my card game, specifically Android: Netrunner. I've got a basic OpenSCAD file that does the trick, but it's not very flexible, and I'd like to be able to easily adjust things for different card sizes or box configurations. I'm hoping you can help me generate a parametric design, ideally using a couple of OpenSCAD files.

The basic idea is to create individual card holders that interlock, forming a grid or array of slots to hold sleeved cards. Each holder should have a cavity for the cards and ledges on the sides that interlock with adjacent holders.

Here's a breakdown of the key parameters I want to be able to control:

*   **Card Dimensions:** I need to specify the width (x) and depth (y) of the card holding slot. This should be adjustable to handle different card sizes, and of course, card sleeves.
*   **Holder Height:** The height (z) of the holder.
*   **Material Thickness:** The thickness (thk) of the plastic used in the holder, crucial for proper 3D printing.
*   **Grip Length:** The length (grip) of the interlocking ledges. If this value is set to zero or less, I want the holders to act as edge pieces with no ledges at all.
*   **Grip Tolerance:** The tolerance (tol) for the fit of the interlocking ledges. This lets me adjust how snug the fit is.

The default dimensions I'd like to start with are approximately these, accounting for the card sleeves and a small margin:

*   x = 97mm
*   y = 22mm
*   z = 40mm
*   thk = 1.5mm
*   grip = 10mm
*   tol = 0.15mm

I’d like to have the core logic within a dedicated `card_holder.scad` file. Then I would like to have an `assemble.scad` file to generate arrays of interconnected card holders, which should allow me to specify the number of holders per row and column, the gap between the holders, etc.

For this, I'd appreciate it if the core part of this design were done without needing any additional libraries. However, for the `assemble.scad` file I think it would be really useful to have a module using the `BOSL` library to handle the array creation since that could be complex on its own. I assume that would mean I need to be using BOSL2 for this.

So, I need two OpenSCAD files - `card_holder.scad` and `assemble.scad` using the above specifications. Let me know if you need any other information!

I'm looking to design a flat spool roller for 3D printer filament spools, and I'd like your help generating the OpenSCAD files. I have a few spools that are a bit warped, and I need something that will allow them to lay flat while they're feeding filament.

Essentially, I need three main parts: a central "hub" that the spool will sit on, a circular "track" that the hub rotates on, and spacers for different sized spool holes, to make sure the spool is properly centered.

Here’s a breakdown of the design parameters:

**General:**
*   The design should use standard skateboard/inline (608) bearings.
*   All dimensions should be easily adjustable via parameters.
*   I'd like a simple, clean design, with spokes for support where appropriate.
*   I need to use the pins.scad library from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10541 for the bearing retention pins.

**Hub:**
*   A circular base with a central raised cylinder that sits inside the spool's hole.
*   Bearing pins should secure the bearings to the hub (using the pins.scad library)
*   A number of spokes can be specified to add support.
*   Wall thickness for the hub should be parameterizable.
*   Inner diameter and height of the central raised cylinder on the hub should be parameterizable.

**Track:**
*   A flat circular base, with a recessed track area that the hub rests on, and a rim to keep the hub centered.
*   The track should have a specified thickness and clearance for the hub to roll smoothly, and a parameterizable rim height and width.
*   There should also be an option for spokes.

**Spacers:**
*   Two different types of spacers should be made: one that is a solid disc, and one that is a spoked spacer, for larger diameter spool holes.
*   Both the diameter and height of spacers must be parameterizable.
*   A specific clearance between the spacer and the hub should be specifiable.

**Specific parameters I'm thinking of, to start (but I want to easily change):**

*   **`main_diameter`**: Diameter of the main circular part of the hub (e.g. 110mm).
*   **`track_thickness`**: Thickness of the track base (e.g. 1mm).
*   **`track_clearance`**: Clearance between the track and the bearing (e.g. 1mm).
*   **`rim_height`**: Height of the rim around the track (e.g. 1.5mm).
*   **`rim_width`**: Width of the rim around the track (e.g. 1.5mm).
*   **`track_spokes`**: Number of spokes for the track (e.g. 0 or 8)
*   **`spokes`**: Number of spokes for hub and spacer parts (e.g. 3)
*   **`bearings`**: Number of bearings on the hub (e.g. 3)
*   **`wall_thickness`**: Wall thickness for the hub and spacer parts (e.g. 2mm)
*   **`hub_diameter`**: Diameter of inner hub (e.g. 14mm)
*   **`hub_height`**: Height of inner hub and spacer (e.g. 10mm)
*   **`spacer_diameter`**: Diameter of spacer (e.g. 55mm)
*  **`spacer_clearance`**: Clearance between hub and inner hole in the spacer (e.g. 0.5mm)
*   **`$fn`**: Circle resolution (e.g. 72).
*   **`bearing_axle`**: Diameter of bearing's central hole (8mm).
*   **`bearing_width`**: Bearing width (7mm)
*  **`bearing_diameter`**: Outer diameter of the bearing (22mm)
*   **`bearing_washer`**: Diameter of the bearing washer (11.5mm)
*   **`spacer_height`**: Height of the spacers (should match `hub_height`)

It would be great if the code could generate each of the parts separately, as well as a version that assembles them all together as a demonstration. Let me know if you need any more information.

I'd like to design a mini blind pull, something that can replace the ones that always seem to break. I have a specific vision in mind, mostly based on the ones I already have, but I'd like to make it easily customizable in OpenSCAD.

Here's the basic idea: The pull has a kind of rounded, almost bulbous shape, with a series of ridges running vertically up it. It needs a hole through the center for the cord to go through, and I'd like to be able to easily adjust the size of that hole. I've attached a basic OpenSCAD file that I found online as a starting point. It gives a general idea of the shape I'm going for. I am not attached to the specific code used in that example file, but I am attached to the overall shape.

Here's a breakdown of the key features I'd like to be able to adjust via parameters:

*   **Cord Hole Diameter:** I need to be able to choose between a "small" and "large" hole, corresponding to around 2.6 mm and 4.4 mm respectively. I would also like to be able to set this diameter to any size, not just these presets.
*   **Overall Height:** I'd like to control the overall height of the pull.
*   **Overall Diameter/Width:** This would determine the overall roundness of the bulbous shape.
*   **Number of Ridges:** I want to be able to set the number of vertical ridges around the pull. The example file has 5, but I'd like it to be a configurable parameter.
*  **Ridge Size:** The width of the ridges, perpendicular to the axis of the central cylinder.
*  **Ridge Height:** The vertical height of the ridges, as they project out from the central body.

I'd also like some additional control, if it's possible:

*   **Ridge Profile:**  Could the ridges be more like fins instead of rectangular?
*   **Tapering/Curving Shape:** Is it possible to control the specific shape of the bulbous part? I think the example code has a sphere. I'd be interested in a way to control the top and bottom curvatures independently.
*   **Render Resolution:** It'd be nice if the render resolution could be configurable.

I would need the code for the entire model to be contained in a single file. I would like to use built-in OpenSCAD features wherever possible. I do not need to use any special libraries for the design. Can you help with this?

Hey, I'm looking to design a parametric multi-tool holster in OpenSCAD, and I'd love some help. I'm basing it on the design of the one Adam Savage made, with the basic shape being a tapered rectangle with a slot cut out of the bottom, and a belt loop on the back.

Specifically, here are the parameters I think we'll need:

*   **`narrow_end_width`**: The width of the holster opening near the bottom, including some clearance for the tool.
*   **`wide_end_width`**: The width of the holster opening near the top, also including clearance.
*   **`transition_start_height`**: The height at which the width starts transitioning from the narrow end to the wider end.
*  **`transition_end_height`**: The height at which the transition is complete.
*   **`full_height`**: The total height of the holster's main body.
*   **`multitool_thickness`**: The thickness of the multi-tool, plus a little extra for a comfortable fit.
*   **`slot_width`**: The width of the slot cut into the bottom of the holster.
*   **`slot_depth`**: How far up the holster the slot should extend.
*   **`slot_strip_height`**:  A small height connecting the top of the finger slot on the front.
*   **`wall_thickness`**: The thickness of the holster walls. I'd like this to be easily changed, likely a multiple of my printer's extrusion width.
*   **`belt_loop_width`**: The width of the belt loop.
*  **`belt_loop_height`**: The length of the belt loop.
*   **`belt_loop_clearance`**: The gap between the belt loop and the holster body, designed to accommodate the thickness of a belt.
*  **`belt_loop_wall_angle`**: The angle from vertical the belt loop walls will slant outward.
*  **`belt_loop_center_height`**: The height of the center of the belt loop.

The main body of the holster should be a tapered shape that goes from `narrow_end_width` at the bottom to `wide_end_width` at the top, with a smooth transition between `transition_start_height` and `transition_end_height`. The slot should cut in from the bottom, with a small `slot_strip_height` left at the top to prevent it from just being a big U-shaped hole. The belt loop should be positioned centered on the back of the holster, with its `belt_loop_clearance` gap and angled walls as specified. I'd like to make sure I'm accounting for any bridging issues by using `multitool_thickness` for all the heights in the hole and the bridge on the top of the holster. It seems like the `minkowski()` function with a sphere is a good way to handle the wall thickness.

I think that covers all the details. Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this, using modules where it makes sense? I am not using any specific libraries so I don't expect any code from them. I'm looking for one or more .scad files to accomplish this.

Hey there, I'm working on a project to make fully 3D-printed machines, and I've hit a roadblock with the electronics and want to get a solid parametric design for a stepper motor and its control board. I've been experimenting with some designs and have included those for context, but I'm hoping we can start fresh with a fully parametric OpenSCAD design.

Basically, I need two main components: a 3D-printable stepper motor and a PCB to control it.

**Stepper Motor:**

*   **Parametric Design:** I'd like the design to be fully parametric, allowing me to easily adjust dimensions for different magnet sizes, bobbin sizes, and overall motor size. Key parameters should include:
    *   `magnetDiameter`: Diameter of the cylindrical magnet
    *   `magnetHeight`: Height of the cylindrical magnet
    *   `bobbinDiameter`: Diameter of the bobbins that hold the coils
    *   `bobbinLength`: Length of the bobbins
    *   `numSteps`: Number of steps the motor has (affects the number of bobbins).
    *   `driveAxleLength`:  Length of the drive axle
    *   `axleDiameter`: Diameter of the axle
    *   `boltHoleDistance`: Distance between bolt holes (should have an array for NEMA 17, 23, 34 etc.)
    *  `boltHoleDiameter`: Diameter of the bolt holes (again, an array for NEMA 17, 23, 34 etc.)
    *  `axleClearance`: Clearance between the axle and surrounding parts.
    *  `play`: End play between parts.
    *  `bearingSize`: Dimensions of the skateboard bearing used in the design.
    *  `bearingID`: Inside diameter of the skateboard bearing
    *   `wallThickness`: Thickness of the walls of the 3D-printed parts.
*   **Key Parts:** The design should include:
    *   A rotor with integrated magnet holders, arranged radially.
    *   Stator with slots for bobbins, which also should be 3D printable.
    *   Lid that holds a skateboard bearing and mounts to the stator.
    *   An axle system.
*   **Assembly:** The design should allow for easy assembly.
*   **Modularity:** I'd love for the design to be modular, making it easier to change or replace components later.

**PCB:**

*   **Parametric Design:** This should also be parametric, allowing adjustment of component placement. Parameters to consider include:
    *   `size`: The overall dimensions of the PCB.
    *   `holeSpacing`: The spacing between mounting holes.
    *   `holeDiameter`: The diameter of the mounting holes.
    *   `pinSpacing`: The spacing between pins for the chips/components.
    *   `pinDiameter`: The diameter of the pins/holes
    *   Offsets for key components (chip, connector, transistor, bobbin headers)
*   **Key Components:** The board should have places for:
    *   Mounting holes in each corner.
    *   A chip for control circuitry.
    *   A connector (header) for the motor leads.
    *   Transistors.
    *   Headers for the bobbin leads.
*   **Functionality:** The board is intended to work with the stepper motor, so the pinouts and sizes should be compatible.

**Overall Considerations:**

*   **Libraries:** I'm not sure what the best libraries to use for this would be, so I would appreciate some recommendations there.
*   **Output:** I'd like to be able to generate separate STL files for each part for printing, and ideally I want to be able to switch easily between a "finished" view and an exploded view for assembly and visualization.
*  **Context:** I'm using a relatively standard NEMA 17 form factor with a drive axle of 6.35mm or so, so the motor should ideally be something that can connect to standard mechanical hardware.
*  **Starting Point:** I included what I have for starting points, but please don't feel constrained by what I've done already.

Let me know if you have any questions! This is a big project, so I'm happy to go into more detail. Thanks!

I'm looking to design some risers for my kitchen appliances. I've got a microwave that's sitting a bit too low, and the door is hitting the mat on my counter. I need to lift it up a bit, maybe just a few millimeters.

The microwave has these little feet, they're basically cylinders. I measured them, and they are about 18mm in diameter and 6mm tall. I was hoping to create a sort of 'riser' that fits around those existing feet, so it's stable. The riser should lift the appliance by an additional 2mm, so the total height of the riser would be 8mm, with a 6mm channel for the appliance's foot, and a 2mm solid base.

Ideally, I'd like to have the design be parametric, so I could easily change the foot diameter, foot height, and the height of the rise in the future. I'd also like an option to generate a single riser or four at once (like in the attached file).

I'd like to avoid printing a lot of support material, if possible, so a simple cylindrical shape would be best. I don't need any fancy edges or anything. I'd also like to keep the wall thickness to around 2mm (if that makes sense).

Could you please generate the OpenSCAD file for this? Let me know if you need any additional information.

// This is the diameter (in mm) of the extsting feet on the appliance. If there's any question, err on the side of a slightly larger value so that the riser fits around the foot.
FOOT_DIAMETER_MM = 18;

// This is how tall (in mm) the existing feet on the appliance are. We'll create a channel in the riser that fits the feet. If there's any question, err on the side of a smaller value, creating a smaller channel for the feet to fit in.
FOOT_HEIGHT_MM = 6;

// Rise height (in mm). This is how much you want to lift the appliance.
RISE_HEIGHT_MM = 2;

// I sometimes find that printing one object at a time yields better results on my printer. You can select if you want the output to have one foot in the file or all four.

Hey, I've got a Printrbot spool stand, the kind with the little roller wheels, and I'm trying to make a custom spool holder for it. I'm using a spool that isn't exactly the same size as the one the original design was made for.

I need an OpenSCAD file that can handle different spool widths. I've got a basic idea of the design, it should basically be two side pieces with two support bars connecting them. Each side piece needs to have a cutout for the bearing of the Printrbot spool stand to rest in, and a couple of little tabs to keep the spool from sliding around too much.

I'd like the design to be parametric, so I can adjust the following:

*   `spool_width`: The width of the spool I'm using, in millimeters.
*   `clearance`: The space between the spool and the holder, also in millimeters.

The side pieces will be the same on both sides, just mirrored. I'm imagining two rectangular pieces, with a cutout for the bearing (a sort of inverted U shape) and two tabs at the bottom. The support bars are just simple rectangular cubes that connect the two side pieces.

The default `spool_width` for my spool should be around 75mm and I'd like a clearance of 1.5mm. I don't need the STLs generated, just the OpenSCAD code. I'm pretty sure there are no libraries required, but if there are any libraries that would make it easier please use them.

```
// The width of the spool in mm
spool_width = 68.5; // [1:100]
// Clearance between the spool and the holder in mm
clearance = 2; // [1:10]

module side(){
	difference(){
		cube([56,12,5],center=true);
		cube([8.3,3.8,6],center=true);
		translate([0,-2,0])cube([3.8,10,6],center=true);
	}
	translate([-35.7/2-5.7/2,-8.5,0])cube([5.7,5,,5],center=true);
	translate([35.7/2+5.7/2,-8.5,0])cube([5.7,5,,5],center=true);
}
width=spool_width + clearance;
translate([0,-width/2+6,0]){
	side();
	translate([0,width-12,0])rotate(180)side();
}
translate([56/2-10/2,0,0])cube([10,width,5],center=true);
translate([-56/2+10/2,0,0])cube([10,width,5],center=true);
