Feel free to contact me via comments if you want any help or suggest improvments!

TODO for the ve next version

I'm very sure that the whole process can certainly be automated. For example Python script can automatically generate .SCAD code, export .STL and then generate .GCODE in PrusaSlicer from just a list of names in a text file as the only input, but on my Windows 10 I haven't yet figured out how to control OpenSCAD via the command line also PrusaSlicer with modificators via the command line too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
