The reason that it is breaking is that I am currently generating a unique download link for each individual 3D model group. A "group" contains .wrl and .step pairs.
If I do not go this far, and provide a single archive for each "folder" of files then the generator still works fine.. For now at least I think I will go with the simpler approach which means we can still have a front-facing download page that we do not have to serve. Incidentally the 3d-shapes downloader tool in KiCad needs some love. It fails on folders with more than 1000 files! This is a github API limitation I think.
