The exported shader code is not really meant to be used directly because it would need a lot of wrapping to be functional. See [#include directives in shader code output from Node Material Editor](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/include-directives-in-shader-code-output-from-node-material-editor/10730/2) for eg.

What you should do is either exporting the js code, as you did in [your PG](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#JICX85) or use the `NodeMaterial.ParseXXX` functions: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#JICX85#1](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#JICX85#1)
