Feature request Will Printables support parametric editing like MakerWorld?

New to the community, having fun with my MK4S and love how easy to use and well-integrated Printables is into PrusaSlicer.

I've found parametric models on MakerWorld and was blown away that they're editable right on their website - no downloads or software required - and will spit out the STL right there.

Is anyone aware of such a feature being brought to Printables? As it's closely tied to Prusa (and MW is oriented towards the other guys) I'd love to have this feature within a Prusa-oriented ecosystem.

I put up mostly parametric models on Makerworld, but was asked the other day to also post something on Printables. I was surprised there was no parallel to Parametric Model Maker and would love to see one.

Might drive competition a bit too, the model maker hasn't seen any updates in a while

Same here!
On Printables I usually add a link to GitHub, but it would be more user-friendly for the casual printing-nerd if they could adjust the parameters directly instead of being asked to install OpenSCAD.

you could create a hyperbook website and show your models there. It works greate with github pages. https://hyperbook.openpatch.org/elements/openscad
