Best describing the object is not easy, but ChatGPT has also a lot to learn about CSG in OpenSCAD

So there is the first question, and the first answer from chatGPT. I will probably rephrase the question a few times, and see how the result changes...

To create a bicycle chain outer plate in OpenSCAD, you can use the following code:
module outerPlate(width=10, height=60, thickness=2, cutoutRadius=5) {
difference() {
// Outer shape
cube([width, height, thickness], center=true);
// Cutout for teeth
translate([0, 0, -thickness]) {
cylinder(h=thickness*2, r=cutoutRadius, center=true);
}
}
}
outerPlate(width=10, height=60, thickness=2, cutoutRadius=5);
You can use the outerPlate module to create a single outer plate for the bicycle chain. The module takes parameters for the width, height, thickness, and cutout radius.
To use the code, call the outerPlate module and provide the desired values for the parameters. For example:
outerPlate(width=10, height=60, thickness=2, cutoutRadius=5);
This will create an outer plate with a width of 10 units, a height of 60 units, a thickness of 2 units, and a cutout radius of 5 units. You can adjust these values according to your specific requirements.

It creates something, but its NOT an outer plate LOL!
