Thingiverse file download tip

Thingiverse has changed the way it organizes files for download. It no longer offers a zip file of all the files for a project. You have to download each file separately.

To download all files in a zip file, click the download link and change /files to /zip and you will be able to download the project as a zip file.

example:
change
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:248009/files
to
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:248009/zip

I’d seen something like this in another resource/forum and the OP also created a bit of script which does the “hard part” for you, although that’s somewhat of an exaggeration.

javascript: window.location = window.location.protocol + ‘//’ + window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname + ‘/zip’;

Create a bookmark with this as the URL (I put in on the bookmark toolbar), then navigate to the desired Thing and hit the bookmark.

It’s not much different from a typing change, but perhaps slightly faster.
Until they lock it out somehow!

They have probably got fed up with the WinZip nag screen :rofl:
