UPDATED 18.10.2023: TamperMonkey script that allows you to download Thingiverse files without the pop-up and 5 second wait time.

//Wait for elements to appear on page
waitForKeyElements(BUTTON_SELECTOR, noBullshit);

function noBullshit() {
    'use strict';

    const downloadElement = document.querySelector(BUTTON_SELECTOR);
    const downloadElementText = downloadElement.querySelector('span');

    const newBtnText = document.createTextNode('GET IT');
    downloadElementText.textContent = 'GET IT';
    var URL = window.location.href;

    //Checking if we're on the Details tab or somewhere else
    if(URL.split("/").length - 1 > 3) {
        URL = URL.substring(0, URL.lastIndexOf("/"));
    }

    const downloadZip = () => {
        window.location.href = URL + '/zip'
    }

    // Create new download button
    const newDownloadBtn = document.createElement('button');
    newDownloadBtn.addEventListener("click", downloadZip);
    newDownloadBtn.style = DOWNLOAD_BUTTON_STYLES;
    newDownloadBtn.textContent = DOWNLOAD_BUTTON_TEXT;

    // Replace the original button
    downloadElement.replaceWith(newDownloadBtn);
};

If you are in /files, /comments, /makes and so on and you click the DOWNLOAD button, it results in a 404 error because it appends /zip to the url and /files/zip doesn't exist.

What the script should do is check if you are not in the details page and remove the last part of the url and then append /zip.

var URL =  window.location.href;
URL = URL.substring(0, URL.lastIndexOf("/"));

downloadElement.href = URL + '/zip'

That would work for all pages except the Details page.

Hi, Thx for the heads up ! I'll look into this and get it fixed :)

@Deses that solution appears to work. Do you want recognition on the description of this script ? I will push the fixed version soon :)

Nice! I see you've given it the extra time I didn't have and resolved the problem for all the cases. Excellent work!

About the recognition, sure, why not. :)

Thank you!
This is coming in very handy now that thingiverse seems to have taken additional steps against adblockers and firefox's enhanced tracking protection feature.

@sreinwald Glad to help !

Very minor, but you can remove duplicate code

    //Checking if we're on the Details tab or somewhere else
    if(URL.split("/").length - 1 > 3) {
        URL = URL.substring(0, URL.lastIndexOf("/"));
        downloadElement.href = URL + '/zip'
    } else {
        downloadElement.href = URL + '/zip'
    }

to

    //Checking if we're on the Details tab or somewhere else
    if(URL.split("/").length - 1 > 3) {
        URL = URL.substring(0, URL.lastIndexOf("/"));
    }
    
    downloadElement.href = URL + '/zip'
   

they changed the layout slightly so the old code does not work..

@scoutman57 Thanks for the fix; it works for me.

Here's the updated script formatted properly for any one else needing it. I included @idle-user's change too.

Thanks @scoutman57 and @kohrar, I've updated the gist with your inputs and mentioned you guys in the description :)

Awesome!

They've changed the div name again, here's the new code that works:

function noBullshit() {
    'use strict';

    const downloadElement = document.querySelector('div.SidebarMenu__sideMenuTop--vJNxy > button');
    var URL = window.location.href;

    //Checking if we're on the Details tab or somewhere else
    if(URL.split("/").length - 1 > 3) {
        URL = URL.substring(0, URL.lastIndexOf("/"));
    }
    downloadElement.onclick=function() {
        window.location.href = URL + '/zip'
    };
    downloadElement.innerHTML = '<div class="button button-primary">DOWNLOAD</div>'
};

@quantumfrost updated, thx ! <3

UPDATE 18.10.2023: Simplified the code: now the button is just replaced with a new one with completely different event listener, since the the updated pages now still displayed the modal and also triggered the download. Now the modal as well as the download countdown etc. is completely ignored !

Also added the selectors and the styling to the top of the userscript, so these are easier to update once Thingiverse changes these again. You can also now customize the text to your liking if you want !
