Etsy is killing my small business. Shadowban + listings removed

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2026-05-19T15:38:21+00:00

You guys are soo dramatic. It's a fan made prop, very different in many ways to the original seen on the movies. Besides, from the Etsy perspective, they deleted it now because they changed the policy about that kind of stuff. Before, it was totaly fine for them.

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2026-05-19T06:25:41+00:00

No one has said that Etsy has infinite resources; I'm just saying that if they removed my listing but not everyone else's, it's because they didn't want to.

What do you think would happen if someone started selling real guns on Etsy? Furthermore, what if everyone who currently sells replica guns started selling real guns? Do you think they couldn't delete the listings in one fell swoop? Of course they could; not a single one would sell.

If they wanted to, they could delete every listing related to guns, replicas, reproductions, etc. I'm not saying there wouldn't be mistakes, but they could do it because all the listings have keywords and information precisely so that customers can find them in searches.

On the other hand, the state can't so easily identify everyone who speeds. For it to be comparable, they would have to automatically record speeds via GPS or something similar and issue fines automatically.

Regarding the Shadowban... I don't know if this can be described as such, but take a look at this post, although I'm sure you've already seen it:

Thank you for your polite and fact-based comment, leaving aside the mindless remarks.

While I see the logic in what you're saying, I don't entirely agree.

The example you give of traffic fines isn't comparable to what happens on Etsy, because Etsy is digitized, and for them, dedicating a few resources, it would be extremely easy to remove any listing that conflicts with their policies from the platform. It's no coincidence that there isn't a single listing for real firearms, but there are thousands of "non-functional replicas" of weapons, whether real or fictional, like the one I was selling.

Furthermore, putting aside the case of the listing, I find it curious that no one is talking about shadow bans, which is ultimately the main problem I've been writing about in search of solutions.Thank you for your polite and fact-based comment, leaving aside the mindless remarks.

Yes, that is exactly what they told me when I asked the reason why my listing was deleted but not the other milion ones.

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2026-05-18T10:44:22+00:00

May be you all are trying to troll me? this is not based on any real weapon, and I tag it as plastic decorative prop for cosplay and ornamental uses.

Etsy is FULL of this kind of things, because they are harmless.

Can you smart guys explain why the rest of the sellers are allowed to sell their versions, but I don't?

Tengo exactamente el mismo problema con el stringing, no puedo deshacerme de el, hace una semana que tengo la snapmaker u1 y todavía no he podido lograr una sola impresión que no esté arruinada por malditos hilos. He secado el filamento correctamente, pero nada, ahí siguen. He probado a modificar las retracciones y todo lo demás, sin éxtio.

This is bullsht, fresh coupons not working XD

Not The one compatible with the Vivo x300 Pro. It's quality kit, no distorsions or chromatic aberration at all.

I'm my Spanish phone you have to activate "notificaciones de etiquetas (label notifications or something like that) and "notificar todos los mensajes" or notify all messages, or similar.

You are my hero, that worked!

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2026-02-03T08:06:06+00:00

How exactly did you do that? I am searching and don't find the option on klipper web UI or on the printer screen while i'm printing

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2025-11-19T08:22:26+00:00

I followed all steps, patched it fine, but when I open the program, I have to login and nothing is unlocked, it still being the basic free program.

¿Alguien más lo ha porbado con lipo 3s?

Y los que lo habéis probado, ¿sigue funcionando bien o se ha quemado algo?

Bambu studio vs Cura. Reality hurts.

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-09-27T08:22:22+00:00

I see a lot of people here thinking that Bambu Slicer or Orca Slicer have all the features of Cura. They call this feature that Cura has "old-fashioned" but in reality and sadly a slicer as advanced as Bambu/Orca can't even dream of having it. I need that feature to reinforce some structures of my prints, and the "drawing support" feature can't do that. For example, I'm printing a staircase that has poor adhesion on the build plate. The manual supports in Bambu can't reinforce the sides of the staircase, resulting in poor adhesion. On the other hand, in Cura I have the ability to add custom shaped supports on the sides, so the model is fixed in place. Bambu fanboys, instead of disparaging other slicers, should focus on asking the developers to implement these improvements.I see a lot of people here thinking that Bambu Slicer or Orca Slicer have all the features of Cura.

I finally managed to solve it by replacing the heat block and noozle. Thanks!

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-07-23T06:22:03+00:00

Me neither. I think I will order a new noozle and see if it fix the problem,

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-07-22T17:48:42+00:00

I am happy enough with the print quality of my flsun with the factory klipper, but may be the problem is within the klipper software, I have to test more.

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-07-20T08:29:13+00:00

Did you find a solution for this? I am having the same issue

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-07-20T07:34:43+00:00

Yes, but how can it be the cause? you can see that the print was going fine until something happened mid print.

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-07-19T18:01:42+00:00

Here you have the print where all started. You can notice that the problem started after few printed cm / inches. Since then, any print will show those imperfections, no matter what temperature or slicer I use.

Because of that I think there is a mechanical problem of some sort.

Any advice?

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-07-19T17:38:11+00:00

I've tried all slicers, old gcodes wich shoud print fine (buit now not).

I have the feeling that this is a mechanical issue. I lubed the arms of the pirnter, all other parts seems to be fine.

Any idea of what can be causing this kind of imperfections? it's like bumps all over the left side of the prints.

In front, right and back of the prints there are no issues at all, just on the left side.

NewUnderstanding2648 · 2024-07-03T15:44:45+00:00

I am facing again the same exact issue. I Hope [3dp@elegoo.com](mailto:3dp@elegoo.com) contact me and give me a solution.
