Here's a little script to download all the publicly available scans (135) as GLBs and stick the metadata in a JSON. The scans are all CC0 (public domain)

I appreciate you building this and putting it on github -- I used it to build a simple offline gallery viewer.

Thank You For Making And Sharing!

anyone wanna throw up a magnet link for this so we don't hammer their website unnecessarily?

It's only a few hundred MB, and hopefully they're using a CDN.

For someone that doesn’t know about this, how does a CDN help? Don’t they still have to pay for all the data downloaded even if it’s hosted on a CDN. I thought the whole purpose of a CDN was just to make access quicker and had nothing to do with saving on bandwidth costs.

> hammer their website unnecessarily

This is what a CDN will prevent

Thank you! Going to try to 3d print some of these and see how they come out.
