Excellent reference for customizer problems…

“Note to Thingiverse: please don’t use this as an excuse to postpone fixing the online customizer!” yes, the customizer is still broken on thingiverse. I know well because I receive every week a few complaints that my old wood-layer generator “does not work”. Cura also changed its plugin support (admittedly years ago), and I would have to fix it there also just because they decided not to stay compatible with their original plugin standard. However there is hope…
There are nice people like DrLex that join the gap (doing the work of paid employee elsewhere). Below, is a howto for the bleeding edge version of openscad, which now embeds its own interface to customize designs
(ref: http://www.openscad.org/news.html#20160714, interestingly they used a design of mine in the sample!). I bet this one will be stable from now on and the one to chose from if you want to provide customizable designs without depending on third parties.
