No plugin config page in the WP Admin Menu
In the demo the config page appears in the WP Admin Menu, but when I installed it nothing showed up. I tried deactivating and reactivating and uninstalling and reinstalling... no config page ever shows up so this is completely useless, but it looks great on their demo page and I wish i could get it to work.

Good to develop further.
Light weight clean looking viewer should be developed further so users can customize more settings. Support of .3MF files.

Got nowhere with this...
Gave it a try. When you install, there are no configuration screens or anything. After a bit of reading, discovered that the use is based on embedding a shortcode like this: [wp-3dtvl model_file="your_file_name"][/wp-3dtvl] Tried that with multiple models, and all I got was an on-screen error saying "An error occurred loading model". Dug around some more and found the author's demo model from the Envato based paid version of this plugin. Tried substituting the path for that model. Same result. In summary: Gave this an honest try. Could not get it to work at all.
