What's this? York Hackspace has joined the fediverse?
Are you in York and want access to a workshop full of tools and machines to make stuff? Well what a coincidence! that's exactly what York Hackspace is!
We'd love some boosts to help us find more of the hackspace community here on the fediverse ❤️
I had an epiphany today: Mastodon is my makerspace. I haven't been able to find a makerspace in this area since we moved here in '22, and that's been bugging me. But I scroll through Mastodon and see people's printing, woodworking, electronics, and welding projects, and I admire them, and sometimes I ask questions and learn new techniques. And when I post my own, people do the same.
Hello! I have a question for people running smallish makerspaces in the UK - like, a big room with several tables in?
How much (approx, ballpark) do you spend on consumables per month? (Refreshments, 3D printer filament, woodworking bits, any other supplies.)
Also how many members do you have?
I'm asking because we're applying for a grant to cover running costs and we're being asked for an estimate of what we expect to spend, but we don't yet have premises. We'd be allowing members to use e.g. filament, tea bags, etc. for free, if we get the grant. So I do need to know how much it costs in the first place, even though you probably usually do get it covered by people buying/donating for what they use in most hackspaces!
Happy Xmas mastodon, here's a small gift.
I won't be able to continue with my #makerspace activities, so I'm offering up the training materials I made for any other makers to use for their grasshoppers. All of the info specific to our space has been taken out, so you can put your own info in!
These docs cover #welding (MIG and TIG), #epilog#lasers , #prusa#3dPrinter , and #Formlabs#ResinPrinter , and pair well with @sjpiper145 skill trees for makers!
Happy making!
We warmly invite you to visit us at our location on Celovška cesta 111 in Ljubljana! Our opening hours are as follows: Thursdays and Fridays from 16:00 to 20:00, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 16:00. Please note that the museum remains closed on Sundays and during all public holidays.
My local #makerspace is re-opening soon and they started using a corporate, profit driven, centralized, closed source chatroom (Slack). I want them to use an open source, federated, community driven chatroom instead (#Matrix).
Does anyone know of other Makerspaces that are already on Matrix that I can tell them about?
Having a slack channel to pull in Slack users and get them over to Matrix, where the action is at, seems like it'd be a good strategy.
My friends and I, who are co-directors of a fledgling makerspace/hackspace CIC in Wales, have started crowdfunding to raise enough money to move into full-time premises: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/machspace
We're all on low incomes and our town council is broke, and our community sorely needs free and cheap ways to socialise comfortably indoors, and to make and repair things to save cash.
We're willing to put in the elbow grease to make it happen - can you chuck in a few quid?
In unserem Makerspace in Erfurt fehlt schon lange eine CNC-Fräse. Es gab mal eine private Fräse, aber die wurde wieder abgebaut. Nun planen wir, was man braucht, was sinnvoll ist und was das kostet (Eigenbau, Bausatz oder fertiges Gerät). https://wiki.technikkultur-erfurt.de/projekte:cnc
Wer bereits Erfahrungen mit CNC-Fräsen in Gemeinschaftswerkstätten hat, kann gern Tipps da lassen. #Makerspace#Erfurt#CNC#CNC_Fräse#Milling
