- A new space where we can spread out and get better organised
- Decent temperature controlled soldering irons
- Plastic extrusion auger (to turn shredded plastics into useful filament or materials)
- Lockers/project storage
- Broadband internet access
- Water chiller unit for K40 laser cutter
- USB microscope
- Offcuts and scrap materials for making/re-purposing
- Welding mask and clamps
But if you have something you think we might find of use, please do get in touch! It doesn't have to be new or even fully working - we love a fix-up project!
