For example Python script can automatically generate .SCAD code, export .STL and then generate .GCODE in PrusaSlicer from just a list of names in a text file as the only input, but on my Windows 10 I haven't yet figured out how to control OpenSCAD via the command line also PrusaSlicer with modificators via the command line too.</p><h3>Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!</h3><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/98717/rich_content/f5d35bcd-35b2-4491-b23a-bd97e2ec285b/tag.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2262322081-a3df-4ebf-a446-46bf7d155e8b%22%2C%22w%22%3A960%2C%22h%22%3A257%7D"></figure>
