Hello MakerLab team,
I noticed that the parametric model maker is currently down for maintenance, and I completely understand these updates can take time. I’m curious if you might have any insights on when it could be back online.
I’m planning to release a model this evening that relies on this tool, but I certainly don’t want to rush anyone—just looking for a rough idea so I can plan accordingly. Thanks for all your efforts around the model maker!
Let’s hope it comes up again soon, I have started to receive some comments in my models asking for it (most of my designs are parametric)
Still offline.
It’s been offline at least 24 hours. I wish they’d update with a blog or other post to give us an ETA.
I wrote too soon 
I opened up a ticket earlier today, just got a response:
Thank you for contacting MakerWorld Team.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. We have communicated this issue to the relevant team. It is expected to be fixed in the next two days.
We will closely follow the progress of the repair to ensure that this issue can be properly resolved as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and support
I have seen this new category in “My Points” section. Maybe the error is related with this change
Nope that arrived a week ago.
I have received points from it.
No dice yet, sigh. I’ve got a nice arrangement of gridfinity socket organizers and no base to put them in till this is fixed LOL
I noticed that as well but didn’t correlate that it could be the issue. You may be correct.
Hopefully it’s resolved soon as I’ve already had folks’ message that they are not able to create using the tool and ask when it will be available to use again. Many of which are new to the platform.
It will be a great incentive to earn points by just using the MakerLab tools but hope to see the issue resolved soon.
I’m also dealing with users asking about when it is going to be solved. Most of my designs are parametric, so my stats and points have been frozen during the last couple of days
Maybe they are adding the private code option.
Fingers crossed people.
I know I am in for disappointment.
that would be great

Especially given the Exclusive program as it is designed to protect the intellectual property that visible code throws wide open.
There are solutions I would upload if I retain the code rights to.
I have repeatedly asked for this very easily to implement-feature.
@MakerWorld any update with this topic?It has been 3/4 days and there has not been any update
TIL: Parametric Model Maker == GUI + rendering farm for scad
Corollary - OpenSCAD can do the same thing on your own machine.
thank you, you’ve just made my basement hum again.
Corollary to the Corollary
@MalcTheOracle - I now understand your IP concerns.
I’ll add that folks should enable Manifold in the Properties > Advanced > Render section. My models also require BOSL2 which is a quick download, unzip, and copy to the OpenSCAD library folder.
Exactly.
While some of my models are available as entirely OpenSCAD and are accessible using MW, others have far too much code I do not wish to share.
I am happy that people can benefit from the results, not the source.
I have three categories of models or I would wish to.
Without private code, I can’t create the second option.
With the second option, I can allow users to design variations they can benefit from without allowing bad actors to take my hard work and claim it as their own.
Thanks, good to know. I bet there are a few such things that are generally useful to add to my setup.
