  Hello, I made a mono-file version of my V2 Unfolder, so that it can be used by simply clicking of this link : https://openjscad.xyz/#https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gilboonet/gilboonet.github.io/master/outils/unfolderV2Flaps/deplieur_cadhub.js

  I added lots of models on it by opening them into JSCAD then saving as JSON, opening this JSON, copy-paste it into my script, and it works nicely.

  The big drawback is that this version is not able to unfold a new file, for that the only way is a local project where the file is copied.

  @bitbybit WOW! Your project is very ambitious!

  I’m definitely going to try the site for my next design. It should be a lot of fun trying a different front end, and extended functionality too.

  What kind of designs do you expect others to create?

  I rewrote my unfolder for JSCAD 2 and I'm very happy with the result. It looks almost like an application as user can enter the model file name and choose between options to see the model, scale it and see resulting dimensions, and finally choose several options for the unfolded pattern (paper size, flaps or not, exclude links, change flap attachment). I cleaned the code as possible and now it doesn't use global variables. It was the first time I used align() and it's a very handy function that allowed me to group small pieces. Due to the complexity of the script, it freezes after some time, I suspect memory leak but did not see where it could be. What would be nice with such script that has lots of parameters would be to be able to save/load parameters sets.

  The project can be found here, unzip the archive into a directory, then run jscad and open it as a project. I added some 3d files, but you can test others by putting them into the project directory and open it with jscad. It can also directly run on a script, but to do so you must edit the code and change main() (this way it can run as a standalone script file).

  Here's a link to a demo video

  Greetings Everyone!
  What video or website do you suggest for a total JSCAD beginner.
  Specifically, 5 middle schoolers were challenged to create ancient Egyptian artifacts using jscad.
  How do you suggest we begin?
  Thank you for any references.

  Valine Zeigler Gilbert, Thank you so much. You were so helpful that I found Tinkercad. After watching your video I realized that jscad may be the next step for those who want to dive deeper after learning the basics. Have a great day!
