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?!

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.
