Use OpenSCAD
As the Thingiverse customizer has some issues, it's better to use OpenSCAD instead.
Download and install: OpenSCAD version 2021.01 or newer
Download: The *.scad file of this model.
Start OpenSCAD and open the *.scad file in it.
Open the customizer via the menu "Window/Customizer"
Now you can configure the model.
Export your STL file
If you're done with your model settings, you can export the STL file:
Render the mesh by pressing the F6 key.
Wait until the rendering is finished. This might take some minutes.
Export the STL file by pressing the F7 key.
Optionally save your configuration
If you like to use your configuration as a template for further models, it's a good idea, to save your configuration:
Click the + symbol in the customizer, which you find beside the configuration selector drop-down in the second line of the customizer.
Give your configuration a name.
Use the drop-down menu to access your saved configurations.
