| 975060c9 OM |
2 | Script for archiving thingiverse things. Due to this being a glorified webscraper, it's going to be very fragile. |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | ## Usage: | |
| 5 | `thingy_grabber.py user_name collection_name` | |
| a7152c35 | 6 | |
| 975060c9 OM |
7 | Where `user_name` is the name of the creator of the collection (not nes. your name!) and `collection_name` is the name of the collection you want. |
| 8 | ||

9 | This will create a series of directorys `user-collection/thing-name` for each thing in the collection. |
| 10 | If a thing's directory already exists, it will be skipped. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | If for some reason a download fails, it will get moved sideways to `thing-name-failed` - this way if you rerun it, it will only reattmpt any failed things. | |
