Thingiverse has numerous trackers / ad prodivders and no way I am allowing it just to get an stl. Luckily I decided to check first and found this extenstion, no need for me to code one as this works great ! Thank You !

Brandon Kern (ID: 00000017a852bb50) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/09/2022 So this didn't work for me but there is a simple way to bypass the ads, etc. Open a second tab and have in the address bar https://cdn.thingiverse.com/tv-zip/ Then just add the thing number at the end. This directly opens up the download window.
