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.

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?!
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…
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.
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.
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.
