Model Explorer by ZeroXR

Why downloading your 3D model needs a free account, and how to sign in

Viewing, opening your own files and making share links need no account. Downloading a model from this device as GLB, STL or USDZ does: open the menu on its card on Home, choose Download GLB, Download STL or Download USDZ, and sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email. The download then starts by itself.

The account is free, and the emailed code is the only way in; Continue with Meta is off for now, in the browser and in the Quest app. A code works for 10 minutes, and a new one can be sent after 60 seconds. A session lasts 30 days unused and 90 days at most. GLB keeps every part, material and picture; STL is millimetres, Z up, no colour, for a slicer; USDZ is for AR Quick Look on iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro.

Questions

Do I need an account to share a link?

No. A share goes up signed out. Signing in afterwards lets you manage that link from any device.

Can I sign in with Meta?

Not at the moment. Sign-in is by a code sent to your email.

Why is Download greyed out for a model?

Its licence does not allow sharing or downloading, so the entries are off for it.

Typing an email on a Quest is slow. Is there another way?

Yes. On a Quest 3 or 3S, sign in on your phone and scan the code it shows with the headset.

Can I delete the account?

Yes. Open Account, press Delete account and enter the code emailed to you. It deletes the account and every link it manages.
