If not, would it be possible to add that as a feature?

I'm trying to work up a customizer for a CNC fingerjoint box:

http://community.carbide3d.com/t/cnc-finger-joint-box/8880

(scroll down to the bottom for the current version)

and if I could write out the current settings that'd avoid the need for a
user to transcribe the values from the customizer.

I think the customiser settings are already written out to a text file in
JSON format.

You can save multiple named sets of parameters which will
be saved in a *.json file with the same base name as the
main model *.scad file.

Thanks! Managed to puzzle that out and get it working.

One last question: What are the options for hosting an OpenSCAD file with
customizer? Thingiverse? Anything else?

What would be involved in setting that up on my own server?

I don't know of anyone other than Thingiverse doing so, and they use their
own Customizer, not the new one built-in.

Is it possible to write out a text file from OpenSCAD?
