MyMiniFactory swoops on Etsy 3D printing controversy — new Premium Merchant Program will let anyone sell physical 3D prints on its platform for a monthly fee

Recently,Etsy quietly changed its creative policy to eliminate most 3D-printed objectson the platform. The policy change dictates that all 3D-printed goods must be created and designed by the person selling them. This would remove a vast majority of 3D printed merchandise sold by makers and print farms alike, who typically buy files from professional artists. Despite our attempts to contact Etsy and a flood of content creators making YouTube videos on the subject, Etsy has not addressed the topic....

However, the issue has now been diagnosed and seems fixable! Back in March, we reported that NASA was sending a “poke” to the Flight Data Subsystem to get a full readout of the probe’s functioning memory in hopes of fixing it. The poke worked but returned a scrambled readout that NASA had to decode before it could be of any value....
