    Can we ban makerworld links here? They have a low limit on downloads without registering an account, a very shitty default license many use without the reading and generally don’t hide they want to run that thing as a walled garden.

      Clear cookies and site data (Firefox) then refresh the page.

      You can continue to download until you hit the limit again, rinse and repeat.

          Seeing that their latest printer is closed source, I’m afraid they’ll make some changes to their website too…

        Only way I managed was chrome in porn mode via VPN.

        Went digging a bit after that and found a statement from them that anonymous download issues are intentional to drive people to make accounts.
