LCSC STEP file downloader

I’ve been using the excellent easyeda2kicad to scrape design files from the LCSC / EasyEDA database. I realized that it’s pretty challenging to actually get .step files out of LCSC non-programatically. Sometimes I didn’t need to export the full footprint/symbol/model trinity, I just wanted something to put into 3D CAD.
So I made a basic tool to do it automatically. It just wraps the STEP export function from easyeda2kicad in a browser interface. Very simple, only a few lines of code. Hope people find it useful!

I use this in a past:

You give the JLC Cxxxxxx part number and it downloads symbol, footprint and 3D model for you. I don’t use symbol and footprint JLC provides, but STEP models are sometimes useful to have.
