Hello all... so recently I was looking at property to perhaps start a makerspace.....as I did more research turns out you guys already exist I am in the process of building up a 3d printing business and figured I should look into making a makerspace at same time.....since you all already are around that saves me alot of trouble. I am currently working primarily with DLP/SLA printing in many different materials but will soon be expanding into FFF Ultem/Peek and then what I am really excited for.....a metal 3d printer. I also have plans to aquire a PVD coating machine and a small CNC. I was wondering what equipment you all have at the space and just wanted to introduce myself and see how I can help n the future contribute . My name is Steve btw.

Hi Steve, welcome to the group!

Here is a list of some equipment that we have:

• CNC Router (4'x8')
  
• SawStop table saw
  
• FormLabs Form 3 SLA 3D printer
  
• QIDI X-MAX 3D printer
  
• Other 3D printers in various working condition (Leapfrog, custom built)
  
• Boss CNC laser cutter
  
• Soldering/electronics station
  
• Benchtop lathes
  
• Sandblasting station
  
• Manual milling machine with DRO (knee-mill)
  
• Drill press
  

A 3D metal printer sure would be sweet!

Sounds like  pretty awesome makerspace already!!!! I have never used the Form 3 personally but heard they have great detail. The Sla printers I am running are a 1st gen Mars, Prusa SL1, and Peopoly Phenom. I am sure you all are closed completely because of Covid but would be sweet to get a tour sometime once we get to a point that is ok to do. I look forward to contributing and getting involved with this makerspace.
