Does MakerWorld let me reference static resources that are uploaded with an OpenSCAD script?
I’ve made a script for a customizable deck of playing cards. It works locally by importing .svg files for the artwork and pips, and I’d like to post it on MakerWorld as a customizable model. Ideally, users could upload their own .svg files, but I suspect that isn’t possible without special integration (like what was done for Make My Keychain). For deeper customization, I can tell users to run the script locally, but I’d still like to offer a basic customizable deck on MakerWorld.
Also, can I control the settings in the .3mf file MakerWorld exports, or do I just provide instructions on which settings to tweak?
If any of this is documented, please let me know. I searched but only found basic info (I already have a couple of customizable models on MakerWorld).
Right now you can not reference files, but you can create a field for uploading svg files. (Paramatric Model Maker V0.8.0 support uploading files!)
Users should then download you file and upload it into the form.
Right now it is not possible to modify the parameters in the 3mf file (it has been asked, so maybe in a future version it is possible).
In my case, usuarlly I add a section if there is any important setting to be set, and also add a print profile with this custom parameters, so users can download the profile and then drag and drop their design over the build plate and use the same parameters.
Oh great, that upload ability is exactly what I need. Thanks!
On second thought, since the uploaded file has to be named default.png, default.svg, etc. is it possible to give an option for users to upload multiple files?
no right now, it has also been asked. (maybe for version 1.0)
Ok, thank you for the quick response!
We do have plan to support the feature you are asking. Hopefully, we can get it done within Q1.

btw, what kinds of 3MF settings you would like to change?
That’s possible. You can just define different variables.
png1=“default.png”;
png2=“default.png”;

Theoretically I’d want to be able to change any 3MF settings I can set in Bambu Studio, but top pri for me are the settings I changed in this model: Customized Playing Cards by Prime Tower Designs - MakerWorld
(all of the print profiles there have the same 3mf settings IIRC)
Do you have plans for what was originally asked for?
The original request was for the designer of the script to access local files and then include them within the script.
The user is not asked anything, the files are resources uploaded with the OpenSCAD file and accessed within the code as part of the model.

I have a model where users need to set Arachne wall generation, being able to export this would be great.
I like the idea of uploading some kind of JSON file with all the configuration needed
