Thingiverse Zip Downloader
A scraper to bundle a zip archive with all stl files of one model found on Thingiverse.
Since they struggled around a lot with the download all files function on their website, they now completely removed it. For me, it is pita to download every file on it's own. I decided to make a quick poc for my personal use, and now I like to share it with maker/creator/programmer and many more :)
Status
Working poc (proof of concept), works for private personal use.
Installation
First clone the repo to your local environment and enter the directory
git clone url
cd thingiverse-zip-downloader
Option a: run with docker (recommended)
Build the docker image and start the container (maybe change port mapping to unallocated port)
docker build -t thingiverse-zip-downloader .
docker run -d -p 80:80/tcp thingiverse-zip-downloader -d
Option b: run with PHP directly on pc
You also can use PHP built in webserver. You will need the following php extension: dom, sockets, zip. Composer must be installed on your system and also the chromium browser as well. Currently, the name of the executable used is chromium-browser, if the name of the chromium executable differs from this, you have to change it in the source code. In src/Scraper.php on line 30 you can change it to the path where the application can find it. Then you have to do an install of the composer dependencies:
composer install -o
After this, you are ready to start the webserver. Enter the public directory of the repository and start it (maybe change port mapping to unallocated port)
cd public
php -S localhost:80
Finally
Start your preferred browser and navigate to http://localhost:80 (don't forget to change your port here as well) Paste the full url like https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:316595 or just the model id 316595 into the input field and press the download icon. After a certain time you will be offered a file download including all files in one zip archive.
