About Thingport Grab
Save 3D-printing models to your own Thingport library in one click, straight from MakerWorld, Printables and Thingiverse, and convert MakerWorld's Bambu Studio files into 3MFs that PrusaSlicer, Cura and other slicers open with their colors and settings intact.
Thingport Grab is the companion extension for Thingport, a free, open-source library for your 3D-printing models that you host yourself. Importing needs a Thingport server: the extension doesn't store models on its own. The "Download normalized" button for MakerWorld works without one.
HOW IT WORKS
Open a model on MakerWorld, Printables or Thingiverse and a Thingport button appears in the corner of the page. Click it, optionally pick one of your Thingport collections, and click Import. The model's files, photos, description, tags and author are copied into your library, and "Open in Thingport" takes you straight to it.
FEATURES
- One-click import from MakerWorld, Printables and Thingiverse model pages.
- Import whole collections, and your Thingiverse likes, in one go.
- File each model into a Thingport collection as you import it.
- MakerWorld imports use your existing MakerWorld login in Chrome, so there's no session cookie to copy and paste.
- Import another MakerWorld print profile of a model you already have, and it's added to that same model.
- The button hides itself on models you've already imported.
- Your last few imports stay one click away in the toolbar popup.
- "Download normalized" on MakerWorld: Bambu Studio projects converted for other slicers, no Thingport needed (below).
DOWNLOAD NORMALIZED: MAKERWORLD FILES FOR OTHER SLICERS
MakerWorld's files are Bambu Studio projects, and many other slicers open them without their colors or print settings. Thingport Grab adds a "Download normalized" button under MakerWorld's own download button. One click downloads the selected print profile, converts it and saves a 3MF that keeps the painted and filament colors, the plates and the designer's settings: walls, layer height, infill and supports. You pick your own printer profile in the slicer. Multi-part objects may be merged into one, and per-object overrides and layer color changes are dropped.
- The conversion runs entirely in your browser, and the file goes nowhere but your downloads folder.
- Works without a Thingport account. If you're connected to Thingport, the button follows the slicer chosen in your Thingport profile: it stays hidden for Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer, which already open the original file correctly.
- You need to be signed in to MakerWorld with the site in English, and files over 50 MB are too big to convert in the browser.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Thingport Grab talks only to your own Thingport server and to the site you're on. There are no analytics, no tracking and no ads, and nothing is sent to the developer or any third party. Your server address and sign-in details stay in Chrome's local extension storage. Full privacy policy: https://thingport.net/docs/grab/privacy/
GETTING STARTED
1. Install Thingport on your own server: https://thingport.net/docs/install/
2. Click the Thingport Grab icon in the toolbar (pin it from the puzzle-piece Extensions menu) and enter your Thingport address, email and password.
3. Visit a model on MakerWorld, Printables or Thingiverse and click the Thingport button.
Only want "Download normalized"? Skip the setup: open a model on MakerWorld and the button is already there.
