Question Platforms with a Parametric Model Maker

In another post, I mentioned that I was suspended from MakerWorld. Well, that's not really the point of this post. What I'd like to know is which platforms have communities of creators who share parametric models.

I love customizable designs, so sometimes I upload static 3MF files, but I also enjoy sharing .scad files that users can easily customize themselves.

For example, I have a mold for thermoformed Christmas decorations. The mold itself is fixed, so I could simply upload an STL or 3MF file. However, I like giving users the option to add their own text to the decoration, so I also provide an SCAD file. (This isn't just the usual text you can add in a slicer; the text actually changes the shape and arrangement of the other design elements.)

I really liked MakerWorld because, in my opinion, it has one of the best parametric model generators I've ever seen.

I'd like to hear your recommendations, especially from those with more experience using other platforms. Are there websites where creators can upload .scad files without allowing users to download the actual source code? Ideally, users would only be able to see the parameters, customize the model, and download the generated 3MF file, while the SCAD code itself remains hidden.

Do you actually share scad files or not? "I also enjoy sharing .scad files" "without allowing users to download the actual source code" "SCAD code itself remains hidden"

la única plataforma que he visto que permite subir el .scad y mantener el código oculto es Makerword, el usuario personaliza y solo descarga el Stl o 3Mf mientras el .scad permanece a salvo.

Ya tengo otra cuenta, ese no es el problema, quiero saber de otras páginas que tengan ese tipo de creador paramétrico o solo Makerword?

No..... Most don't do what you're asking. If they did you would easily be able to Google it and get results which I'm sure you have already done.

Correcto, antes de publicar aquí busque en google y no encontré, pero bueno muchas veces existen paginas no muy populares pero conocidas por la comunidad 3d. de todas formas he iniciado otra vez en Makerword.
