(((ALPHA draft status only - this is nowhere near ready for consideration or general editing yet!)))
(This should not duplicate rules/CoC content but is meant as more of a Makerspace 101 / introduction.)
References should be made to other pages where needed to avoid excess content duplication.
Welcome!
This page is your personal manual to navigating the (mostly) organised chaos that is the Makerspace. We have a fairly solid
Tea Protocols
Kitchen , tuck, token system
what crafts to do where.
main room, electronics etc.
some crafts also doable
workshop, overview.
explain tool restrictions in brief
Bear in mind that it will take some time to clear up; don't work up until the last minute. There are always other days. Similarly be aware that the time estimates for both 3D printers and the Laser Cutter are not as accurate as you might hope.
Storage
Anything you'd like to store at the Space is best kept in your box; if it's too big to fit, please ask a Committee member before bringing it! A fuller explanation of the system is on the donations and storage page.
Helping out
The Space is what we make it, quite literally. Share knowledge - maybe formally via giving talks , writing _tutorials or _guides, but just helping on projects or sharing advice with people is usually appreciated. Have a look at Things_We_Need occasionally in case you have something going spare that would be of use to us, and remember to update the Replenishment_requests list so we don't run out of core supplies unexpectedly!
Help cleaning and tidying is always appreciated - we don't have a maid! Have a look at the Maintenance page to see if there's anything you can help with.
If you discover something that you wish you'd known earlier, whether that's the location of Mr Laserducky or where the calipers are usually found when they're 'missing' (hint: try whoever's building a 3D printer, or in the Workshop), add it to this page. Talk to Jon if you don't know your Wiki account information.
