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.
