I found out Thangs locks print files and comments behind an account when I tried downloading my own files from a different device. I’ve decided to leave the platform and going back to my trusty old Thingiverse. I tried to find something new and better but maybe Thingiverse is just the place to be for now. New links below.
After ultimaker acquired thingiverse via makerbot i feel the website is slowly improving
Are you sure it’s not a you doing something shady problem? Suspended on printables, locked on thangs… I dunno it sounds kinda sus when none of us have issues. Perhaps it’s spamming your cube…
I was able to find the thangs one. the printables one… idunno. can’t find it.
There are other designers who also upload their designs across multiple platforms. It’s only two versions of a cube so I don’t get the problem. Also, I’m not locked on Thangs, I’m pointing out that unless you have an account on Thangs, you can’t view public comments or download files.

What’s the point of “leaving” or not using a platform like Thingiverse? Surely using Thingiverse and Thangs (and any other conceivable source) is objectively better than… just using a single platform, isn’t it?!
I’ll see if I can maintain both platforms but I don’t really like how Thangs locks comments and files unless you create an account and log in.
