Hey everyone! Very excited to announce we'll be hosting a free Valentine's Day workshop next week on Monday the 13th, in partnership with our Monroe County Community College Library. There's no registration necessary and all supplies are provided, so just drop in anytime between 2pm and 4pm if you'd like to make something for yourself or a special someone, as we show how to use a Cricut machine and a CNC Laser. 💌🌹

We're excited to announce that we’ll be hosting another virtual workshop tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2:00pm! This workshop is free and open to anyone with an interest in 3D printing, and will cover everything from the most common question I get asked about 3D printing, to a walk-through demonstration of how we prepare 3D models for printing using “slicer” software. This workshop will be entirely virtual (so you can join us via Zoom through your computer or smartphone), but the makerspace will also be open afterwards for anyone who would like to do some 3D printing in-person.

No registration necessary, use the link below to join the meeting:

Hope to see you there!

Our first soldering workshop was a success! We'll definitely be doing more of these in the future, and hopefully we'll be upgrading and expanding our soldering equipment to allow us to host more than six people for the next one. This was a full class though (minus one last minute drop), and everyone was able to take home two working projects afterwards. We've got another excited workshop coming up next week, so stay tuned for more info on that! 😁

Super excited for our first Soldering and Basic Electronics Workshop tonight from 5:00 to 7:00pm! We've had an extra seat open up, so if anyone is interested joining, please let us know ASAP! This is a FREE workshop and is open to anyone with an interest in soldering. 🤓

Hey everyone, super exciting news! We're stoked to announce our first in-person/hands-on workshop in quite some time now (which will hopefully be the first of many)! If you're interested in learning the basics of soldering and electronics, please join us next Thursday at 5:00pm! The workshop is FREE but is limited to six participants, so RSVP by email is required. See you there! 🤓

Hope everyone had a great St Patty's weekend! Here's a super cool little tree decorated just for the occasion by one of our Makerspace members, featuring 4-leaf clover ornaments cut out on the CNC laser. We've got some cool workshops coming up in the next few weeks, so make sure to stay tuned! 🍀

Super cool "Tree of Life", cut out on the Epilog CNC laser by one of our members. This one took 2 passes due to some wood knots hiding inside the plywood, which charred some of the edges a bit. Fortunately it cleaned up with some sandpaper and ended up giving it a really cool and weathered look! 😎

From concept to functional part in four pictures. This little bracket holds a microcontroller for a robot and was designed by one of our members using 3D CAD software, printed on one of our Ender 3's, and assembled with some leftover elastic from when we were producing face shields back in 2020. It's amazing how design challenges can be so easily overcome with a 3D printer and a bit of creativity!

Been making some fun Valentine's Day stuff this week. Let us know if you'd like to stop by and use the CNC laser or a 3D printer to make something for yourself or a "special someone"! 🥰💝

Had some fun projects happening this week! We'll be around next week as well, so let us know if you'd like to stop in and make something before our holiday break. 😎

Working on some holiday ornaments this week! Our 3D printers and our CNC laser will be available today between 3pm and 7pm for anyone who would like to make something. Please feel free to send us an email if you'd like to stop by! 🎅❄️

Reverse engineered and 3D printed a replacement plastic gear. Now to install it and test to see if it's strong enough! 😮⚙️
