Parts CDN? - Brickboy22 - 2025-03-21

Hi Smile . I'm wondering if there is a parts CDN to be used with the ThreeJS LdrawLoader, (or if I can host one). I know there is some on GitHub, however most of them have not been updated in years, and I can't find an updated one. (gkjohnson/ldraw-parts-library on GitHub is what I found, but as a stated before, has not been updated in 2 years)

Also sorry for posting in off topic, I don't know what category this belongs in other than parts and I'm pretty sure that's for requesting new parts/issues with part models.

The library is free (in both senses). From a bandwidth standpoint, we would prefer you host your own copy. 

That said, I have been planning to create an official GitHub repo for the library. Stay tuned.

How should I credit everyone? Give a link to the copyright license or something else?

Also can I host it on a public GitHub repo (don't want to go through hoops with my free hosting provider).

Your free to host where ever you like. 

Since, presumably, this is a web app, attribution should be done by stating the geometry is from the LDraw.org library, a license statement, and a link back to the library. A repo should have a readme.md with the same info.
