Resources - beeline999 - 12-13-2017 Hi: I'm new but have visited once or twice. I'd like to see Spokane Create succeed and prosper. As a makerspace newbie I am always looking for new resources. I thought I would list some of the things I have found: -Spokane Public Library has an Internet of Things collection for loan which has some useful items. They also offer a free 3d printing service which just requires an .stl file and they print it and send it to a branch. They said their focus in the future would be on a software studio rather than hardware space. There are a lot of libraries building makerspaces though. -http://opendesk.cc offers free furniture .dxf's for the CNC router. -http://www.maslowcnc.com offers a $500 vertical CNC router kit. http://www.maslowcnc.com/plypad describes their CNC cut tiny house project with free plans available. This is a great idea for helping the homeless. -https://www.vicious1.com has info and .stl's for printing mostly printed CNC and 3d printers -http://onshape.com offers free online CAD -http://enablingthefuture.org has files and help to 3d print hands for youth without hands -https://www.pcc.edu/maker/ Portland Community College's makerspace. I consider this as a possible model for local schools. I'd like to read others suggestions for resources, especially local. RE: Resources - beeline999 - 12-13-2017 Can anyone tell me about local school makerspace and training options?
