PIXUP

Phrozen’s 3D model marketplace, at pixup3d.com: figures, busts and tabletop miniatures from independent designers, many of them pre-supported for resin printing, some free and most for sale. Its models, and anyone’s wishlist and collections, are anyone’s to read; their files go only to a signed-in member who owns them.

At a glance
Sign-in	Your own PIXUP sign-in, per user, for the files
Thingport Grab	Recommended — it sends your sign-in as you visit pixup3d.com, and marks the paid models you haven’t bought
FlareSolverr	Not used
Imports	Free models and the ones you bought; anyone’s wishlist and collections, synced too; categories mapped from its own

How it works

PIXUP’s pages are built on a JSON API of its own, which is what Thingport reads, with each model’s page for its description and pictures.

Models. Paste a model link (https://pixup3d.com/en/posts/<number>, in any of its languages) in Thingport, or import it from the model page with Grab. A model comes in one or more variants — “STL from Designer”, “Pre-supported”, “Ready-to-Print File” — each with its own price and its files in groups. Thingport imports every variant with model files, one zip per file group, and leaves out the ones of nothing but sliced files for particular resin printers, which no slicer opens as a model.
Free models. PIXUP hands out even a free model’s files only once it’s in your library, which its Download button does with a $0 order through your cart. Thingport places that order for you. Checking out takes the whole cart, so while your PIXUP cart holds a paid model Thingport doesn’t order anything, and asks you to check out or empty your cart first.
Paid models. Buy them on PIXUP first; once a model is in your library, Thingport imports it. In a list, paid models you haven’t bought are marked and can’t be picked, and a sync leaves them out until you own them.
Packaging. PIXUP makes a file group’s zip the first time it’s asked for. Until it’s ready, an import says to come back in a few minutes.
Wishlists. Someone’s wishlist is their profile’s Wishlists tab, https://pixup3d.com/en/p/<username>/saved_posts, anyone’s to read. Import it, or sync it so new models come in as they’re added.
Collections. A member’s collections, the Series tab of their profile, are at https://pixup3d.com/en/p/<username>/collections/<number>. Public ones are anyone’s to read; a private one only yours, with your sign-in. PIXUP’s own curated series (/series/…) aren’t imported.
Browse tab. With your sign-in, the sync dialog lists your own wishlist and collections.
Trending. The dashboard’s panel shows the week’s most viewed models, as the Trending link on its home page does.

Per-user (Configuration → Providers → PIXUP). PIXUP keeps you signed in with one cookie, _phrozen_session, which it renews with every page you open. Thingport keeps the newest one it’s given, its own imports included.

Easiest: Thingport Grab

With Thingport Grab allowed on PIXUP, opening pixup3d.com while you’re signed in connects your account, and sends your sign-in on as it changes there.

Your private Printables collections and your likes are read by Grab, while you’re on Printables.
Snapmaker’s sign-in lasts a day and only Grab renews it; without Grab you paste a new one every day.
Cults3D’s files need your browser’s Cloudflare clearance, and Thingport on the same IP address as that browser.
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.
Toymakr3D hands a model’s files to signed-in users only, the free ones included, and shows your likes to you alone.
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.
Fab365 hands a model’s files to signed-in members only, the free ones included, and shows your favourites to you alone.
