We want to share some important news about makerist. After careful consideration, we have made the very difficult decision to close makerist as of April 1, 2025.
Over the years, makerist has been more than just a platform — it has been a vibrant community where people like you could connect, learn, and find inspiration. Despite our best efforts, we’ve come to the hard realization that continuing makerist sustainably and economically is no longer possible.
As you may know, makerist.com entered planned downtime earlier due to necessary technical adjustments. This downtime will now lead to a permanent closure.
Please note the following key dates:
- Starting on 29.01.25, it will no longer be possible to purchase patterns on makerist.com.
- To ensure continued access to your previously purchased patterns, we kindly ask you to log into My makerist until 11.02.25 to download your patterns (see instructions below).
- Beginning 12.02.25, makerist.com and the My makerist area will no longer be accessible.
This is not an easy farewell. But as we close this chapter, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for being part of the makerist journey. Your enthusiasm and creativity have been at the heart of everything we’ve done, and we are forever grateful to have shared this time with you.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Your makerist Team
