If the Rebrickable link is correct, everything's fine.
Hi Chris,
it doesn't do much work for me as I have an automatism here.
I do a manually guided synchronization with Bricklink. It's easier for me to use Bricklink as I can download the necessary data as a CSV file. With Rebrickable, I would have to deal with the API first.
I have a database in which I manage my Lego parts. For printed parts, it is therefore very helpful for me to have the reference to Bricklink, as it is easier than a visual comparison.
Now to your comment about referencing Rebrickable. This is partly wrong, for example the following minifigure head:
3626cp8d
Bricklink reference 3626pb1043
Rebrickable reference 3626cpr1297
Rebrickable gives the references 3626cpr1297 and 3626cpr1326 for this head.
3626cpr1297 then leads to Bricklink 3626pb1043, this is a header with one-sided printing.
3626cpr1326 then leads to Bricklink 3626pb1029, which is a header with double-sided printing.
The header 3626cp8d has double-sided printing, so both references are incorrect here. Another note: the head in LDraw is missing a freckle on the right side. There are three, but according to the pictures there should be four. In addition, the color of the freckles should be light nougat.
I don't know if these references are relevant for other people, then I could register with rebrickable and report any discrepancies found. But then the referencing in LDraw should also be updated at certain intervals.
Greetings
