May 2026 Update

April Updates

April was a refinement month for Lunar Prototypes: fewer forced releases, more time spent improving designs, testing ideas, and cleaning up the customizer workflow.

New and Updated Designs

  • LinkStow Modular Drawers – Customizable, modular storage designed to fit the space you actually have.
  • TPU Watch Band Keeper – A simple flexible replacement part for broken or missing watch strap keepers.
  • Seed Starter – Updated with fewer overhangs, a stronger base, and expanded customization options.

Customizer Improvements

3MF export is now working for customized designs.

This is a big step for multicolor, multi-material, and multi-part designs because 3MF files are easier to bring into modern slicers with the parts organized correctly.

In Testing

  • TPU zipper pulls with embedded hardware
  • Custom text luggage tags
  • Custom text plates
  • Flower frog generators
  • Containers with TPU hinges
  • Customizable lamp globes

Next Up

May will focus on turning more workshop experiments into public releases, improving 3MF output, and continuing routine backend cleanup.

There are also a few summer-use designs in the queue, because something always seems to break once the weather gets warm.

Follow Along

Test prints, design updates, and practical experiments are posted on YouTube and Instagram.

The full monthly writeup is also available on Patreon.
