I’ve been developing a model for Maker World, using OpenSCAD and BOSL2 libraries, and while it works on smaller versions of the model, it times out when the model gets larger.
Is there a way to figure out what all can be done to optimize a model so that it completes within what appears to be the 10 second timeout limit on Parametric Model Maker?
Here is the specific model in question:
If you generate that model with default parameters, it will work, however if you instead change the parameters as follows:
frame_width = 635
frame_height = 937
led_face_outwards = true
Here is the full file that times out: frame_led_channel_parts_timeout.scad · GitHub
Then the model will timeout on the web generator and never fully complete. With these inputs it should generate 4 plates worth of print assets, and when generating them locally on an M2 Macbook Air with OpenSCAD 2025.10.27 it is rendered in about 16 seconds. If I run the default parameters, then the render completes locally in about 9.7 seconds.
Any ideas? Thanks!
