MakerWorld OpenSCAD workflow
- Develop modularly —
lib/ for parts, main.scad for customizer vars
- Add customizer annotations:
width = 20; // [10:50]
- Import project into ScadPack, select MakerWorld profile, click Pack
- Preview with F5 — verify sliders and geometry
- Export packed
.scad and paste into MakerWorld customizer field
Customizer best practices
- Put ALL parameters in the entry file — not in
lib/ modules
- Use descriptive group comments:
/* [Dimensions] */
- Avoid heavy
$fn in customizer paths — use sensible defaults
- Test min/max ranges before publish
Common MakerWorld upload errors
- Missing file — unparsed
use <lib/foo.scad> on platform → pack first
- No geometry — entry file only defines modules, never calls them
- Customizer empty — variables not in entry file or wrong annotation syntax
# CLI — MakerWorld profile
scadpack --profile makerworld -e main.scad -o upload.scad ./project
