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.

    Have you tried Printables? Thingiverse’s interface is just horrible and I only go there as the last option.

      I originally uploaded on Printables and enjoy their platform but they banned me (probably for using vpn and/or Linux) I made a previous post here talking about it and how I was moving to Thangs. Now I’m on Thingiverse now.

        I’m 100% sure they didn’t ban you for using Linux and VPN.

        Source: I use Linux every day and VPN quite often. Also it’s a Czech company and this is just not something I can see a Czech private company doing.

          Though that is good news, that only makes it more confusing as to why I’m unable to access my account on printables. I’ll try making another account then. Thanks for the info.
