Fab365

A South Korean 3D-model marketplace, at fab365.net, running since 2018 and known for meticulously engineered models — SpaceX rockets, foldable robots, Star Wars ships — most designed to print cleanly without supports. Its model pages are anyone’s to read; their files go only to a signed-in member who owns the model, the free ones included, and your favourites are yours alone to see.

Fab365’s pages are built on a JSON API of its own, which is what Thingport reads.

  • Models. Paste a model link (https://fab365.net/items/<number>) in Thingport, or import it from the model page with Grab. A model is one print of the zip Fab365 hands over, unpacked into its files, with the description, the whole gallery and the designer from its page.
  • Free models. They still need your sign-in: Fab365 hands its files only to a signed-in member. There’s no order to place — a free model downloads straight away.
  • Paid and ticket models. Thingport imports a model you already own — bought, or redeemed with a Fab365 ticket. One you don’t own yet is left for you to buy or redeem on fab365.net first; Thingport never spends your money or tickets.
  • Favourites. Your favourites are Fab365’s only list, and only you can see them, so Thingport reads them with your sign-in. Import them in one go, or sync them so new ones follow.
  • Categories. A model’s page names its Fab365 category, which Thingport maps to one of yours.
  • Browse tab. With your sign-in, the sync dialog lists your favourites.
  • Trending. The dashboard’s panel shows Fab365’s most-liked models.

Per-user (Configuration → Providers → Fab365). Fab365 keeps you signed in with a short-lived access token (a JWT) in its page’s local storage, with a refresh token beside it. Thingport keeps both and renews the access token itself as it runs out.

With Thingport Grab allowed on Fab365, opening fab365.net while you’re signed in connects your account, and sends a new sign-in whenever yours changes there.

  1. Sign in at fab365.net.

  2. Open DevTools (F12, or Cmd+Option+I on macOS).

  3. Chrome/Edge: Application tab > Local storage > https://fab365.net. Firefox: Storage tab > Local storage.

  4. Copy the values of accessToken and refreshToken one at a time, and put each on a line of its own after its name:

    accessToken: eyJ0eXAi…
    refreshToken: eyJ0eXAi…

    The table’s rows copied as text work too, if your browser lets you select them together.

  5. Right-click Fab365 in Configuration → Providers, choose Connect and paste them. With the refresh token, Thingport renews the sign-in itself. The accessToken value pasted on its own works too, but stops working after about 100 minutes and has to be pasted again.

Renewing doesn’t sign you out of fab365.net: the site lets the same refresh token be used again, so your browser and Thingport each keep their sign-in.

  1. Your private Printables collections and your likes are read by Grab, while you’re on Printables.
  2. Snapmaker’s sign-in lasts a day and only Grab renews it; without Grab you paste a new one every day.
  3. Cults3D’s files need your browser’s Cloudflare clearance, and Thingport on the same IP address as that browser.
  4. A gallery item that is a CAD project, rather than a library part, has no stored mesh: OwlCAD’s editor builds its file, so Thingport Grab exports it on owlcad.com.
  5. Toymakr3D hands a model’s files to signed-in users only, the free ones included, and shows your likes to you alone.
  6. CGTrader shows your likes and wishlist to you alone, and its downloads sit behind AWS’s bot check, which Thingport passes with Grab’s token from your browser or FlareSolverr’s own.
  7. Fab365 hands a model’s files to signed-in members only, the free ones included, and shows your favourites to you alone.
