Relaunch news and the build log for the new MakerLove.

MakerLove is back — under new ownership

July 2026

If you've landed here from an old link or a search result: yes, this is the same makerlove.com that has been publishing free printable toy designs since 2012 — and no, it's not the same crew. The domain changed hands in 2026, and this post is the new team introducing itself.

What happened to the old site? The original MakerLove was a side project of an online retailer, published its free designs for years, and eventually went quiet. When the domain came up for sale, we bought it, because we think the idea deserved a second act. The original owners' content — their designs, photos, and blog — belonged to them and has been retired with them. Old blog links now land here.

What's happening now? Three things, in order:

  1. The free catalog returns. Every design category the site was known for is being re-modeled from scratch as an original work. Files are published as they're finished — each design page has a notify form.
  2. The guides get serious. Body safety was an afterthought in 2012. Our finishing and safety guide ships with the relaunch, and every design page links to it.
  3. The marketplace opens. The big one: a platform where independent adult-toy designers sell their work directly, with adult-friendly payments and real moderation. It's in active development. Designers, see the open call.

Progress updates will be posted here. The footer form gets you on the announcement list.
