The project was discontinued abruptly by Bastioni,<ref name="CE-shutdown">{{Cite web|url=https://www.blendernation.com/2018/11/26/manuelbastionilab-character-editor-shuts-down/|title=ManuelBastioniLAB Character Editor Shuts Down|date=November 26, 2018|website=BlenderNation|access-date=November 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190607030328/https://www.blendernation.com/2018/11/26/manuelbastionilab-character-editor-shuts-down/|archive-date=June 7, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> after release 1.6.1a, which was not compatible with Blender 2.80.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}} Bart Veldhhuzien indicates BastoniBastioni attempted unsuccessfully to raise funds, and then chose to move on, quoting BastoniBastioni as saying: "I’m sorry, I did my best, but I cannot continue the development of the lab. I will use Blender as artist, since Blender and its community are part of my life."; and "I realized that the lab community size is not enough to support a so expensive project".<ref name="CE-shutdown"/>

In December 2018, a new repository, based on Bastioni's last version (1.6.1a), aiming at Blender 2.80 compatibility, was opened on GitHub with the project name MB-Lab.<ref name="Fork1">{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/animate1978/MB-Lab|title=MB-Lab GitHub clone|website=github.com|access-date=2019-01-31}}</ref>
