Interesting, I was not aware of this. I kind of got the point that they're doing some AI stuff just by interacting with the site but didn't think too much of it. I would definitely upload on github if it was easily searchable similarly to thingiverse, printables, or a similar site. If only there was a better alternative that isn't exploitive. I'll consider uploading on github if I get banned on this one and there are no decent alternatives.

Edit: if you're concerned about github being owned by Microsoft you might like Codeberg and alternatives similar to it.

Don't get me wrong, I still prefer printables but Thangs is kinda like a metasearch engine. They also haven't banned me yet so that's nice.

That must be new though, right? I noticed it the other day, too. They seem to be indexing all 3D-models now, no matter what type they are or what for.

But I remember until a few weeks ago at least they were printable-3D-models only?

From what I can find, Physna owns Thangs. They don't seem to be affiliated with any 3d printer company and are just doing their own thing.

Yeggi's UI is even worse imo but I'll keep that in mind.

The most optimal solution is rubber bands on the area in the middle section. This way, if the tomato decided to grow more than expected, the rubber bands will keep them in place or expand with them.
