A web scraper for Thingiverse would really help me out too! I'm working on
an app which aims to provide a better user experience for naive users
printing 3D designs on Makerbot-class machines, and to do it right I need
tighter integration with Thingiverse. Since the Thingiverse API isn't yet
rich enough for what I need, I'd be willing to take a stab at this and put
its source code up on Thingiverse for all to use.

But Thingiverse's Terms of Use (www.thingiverse.com/legal/) at 3.3(b)(vi)
would seem to prohibit this. Can a Thingiverse representative comment on
this?

Thanks,

skw
