I want to make some models with customizable text using the parametric model maker on Makerlab however I am not sure how to use it. I model the things in Fusion 360 but how do I make it so people can change the text using the parametric model maker.
You need to learn the OpenSCAD system.
All models are created using code unlike Fusion or any visually-based editors.
Once you have mastered the basics, adding customisation is very easy.
You need to put time and effort in though, there are no shortcuts and anything offered on the forum will not magically give you knowledge of the basics that the website above will not and becoming an expert is a journey.
Your existing models will not be compatible, although there are techniques to use OpenSCAD to generate the customisable parts that the user drags in with your fusion models to become one.

Friend, try using GPT chat or similar to write the code for you. I don’t know how to program but I managed to get a code with the A.I.

In my experience, AI can make some basic stuff with openscad, but they make plenty of errors and you need to be really specific about what to do and how to do it.
