PrusaPrinters - Cannot import from Thingverse

Problem is, PrusaPrinters automatically gets list of things from Thingverse for specified user, but Thingverse, as buggy as it is, does not show all things in a list.

There is no option to import specific thing by simply providing direct link to a thing, or I could not find that option.

RE: PrusaPrinters - Cannot import from Thingverse

I have noticed that PrusaSlicer does seem to have issues with Thingiverse ZIP files. For me the solution has been to unzip these to a folder, print then delete the folder when I'm done with it. Is that what you are talking about here? Your description is a bit vague...

I posted Thing on Thingverse. For some reason thing dos not show in My Designs list. It does not show in searches. It does show in some Thingverse groups thing is posted too, and shows when accessed by direct link.

This when I go to PrusaPrinters and want to iport that Thing I cannot, as it does nto show in the list.

It would be good if we have alternative, to post direct link to a Thing and import it that way instead going through the list.

Yes - always a good idea to complain to Ford about problems you are having with your Chevy.

Download "YOUR" own part from Thingy to your computer. Upload "YOUR" part on your computer to Prusa.

If you have nothing useful to add, just skip, do not troll.

If import from Thingverse is not needed, it would not exist on PrusaPrinters.

Well - you are correct. But this is a user to user peer forum. If there is a broken feature on a Prusa app, the best place to report that defect is over on github, where the Prusa developers have a reasonable chance of seeing the concern. 

Reporting a defect here but not reporting a defect on github, well, is just like my comment above: noise in the wind.

Whilst Github is normally the preferred route to get the attention of developers,  some of the people involved in the development of the import feature are actually active in this thread: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/english-forum-general-discussion-announcements-and-releases/thingiverse-migration-tool-questions/ it may be worth posting what is basically a feature request to work round issues with Thingiverse in that thread.
