OpenSCAD customizer
I would like to make a suggestion if possible to please add an OpenSCAD customizer to Printables like the Thingiverse customizer, but more user-friendly, with a better UI and more features.
RE: OpenSCAD customizer
I agree! I just started learning OpenSCAD and I would love to be able to share designs with users without them having to install and learn OpenSCAD. But I will not get my hopes up.

Unfortunately Prusa doesn't really hang out here so I don't think it will get noticed. Would be nice to have that feature however.
I used to use OpenSCAD for all my designs, however I've since switched over to FreeCAD. So my latest designs wouldn't benefit from this. I guess my point is, wondering what percentage of designs are done in OpenSCAD still versus, Fusion360, TinkerCAD, FreeCAD etc

I've posted a few OpenSCAD scripts (another one will come this week) which have been very successful even though it requires users to download OpenSCAD. Guess if the model is useful users will go through the effort.
I did make a point of providing explicit descriptions of how to download and install OpenSCAD and how to use the customizer. I would also suggest sticking with the default OpenSCAD version, not using libraries or relying on dev build capabilities if possible. Most people will simply download the last stable build--which dates back to the Dark Ages.

Problem with OpenSCAD is that the "current" (4 year old) release version no longer runs on MacOS 11+ and requires downloading a development snapshot version. I still have a soft spot for OpenSCAD but I've since moved over to FreeCad. Plus FreeCad has support for OpenSCAD and I can import my models. Part of this is because I'm a professional software developer and the last thing I want to do after 9 hrs of work is more coding.
