Broken OpenSCAD file - I have no idea what I'm doing lol

Hello All! 

Hopefully someone much smarter than myself can help me out. 

I found this miter slot runner on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3973092

The openscad file doesn't work. A guy in the comments said, "There's a difference call that operates on nothing. I commented it out, it works now."

I have to be honest, I have no idea what this means. I tired google and youtube.and quickly realized that I am a bit over my head. 

Would someone mind taking a look and letting me know what specifically I need to do to make this work? I see I can go to Edit -> Comment. Which I assume is what he means by "commented it out". 

I don't know if this helps. It might be easier to grab it from thingiverse if your able and willing to help. Thanks in advance. 

module tslot(t){
    translate([(-slot_length/2)+(slot_length*(t/1.4)), 0, 0])
    intersection(){
        difference(){
            union(){
                // groove
                translate([-slot_length/2, -groove_width/2, 0])
                cube([slot_length,groove_width,groove_height], 0);
               
                // slot
                translate([-slot_length/2, -slot_width/2, groove_height])
                cube([slot_length,slot_width,slot_height], 0);
               
            }
            // screw cutout
            cylinder(h=slot_height + groove_height, d=screw_width);
           
            // nut cutout
            cylinder(h=nut_height, d=nut_width, $fn=6);
        }

        // slot
        difference(){
        }
       
       
        // Round corner edges
        scale([1,.85,1])
        cylinder(h=slot_height, d=slot_length);
    }
}

for (i =[1:slot_segments]){
    tslot(i);
}
