Opening a new maker space in Berkeley, July 3rd Noon-Midnight. Founded by 2 guys in a basement 9 years ago. Now opening it up to the community of local makers as a non-profit 501(c)(3). 3D print, laser cutters, CNC, full e-bench. https://eastbaymakersclub.com

This is extremely impressive, something I’ve always wanted to create locally. I’m in the UK so setup, registration, costs etc are very different but what’s the ballpark cost? We have a real lack of maker spaces.

Awesome. If you are not in touch with Maker Nexus (based out of Sunnyvale) already, please reach out! Would love to put you in touch with the administrators there on what they learned about successfully running a non-profit maker space.

That sounds great. We are always open to learning. I'll send you a note :)

I really wish they could find a way to make Maker Nexus more affordable.

If you’re a non-profit, I have a formlabs printer I’d be happy to donate :-)

I'd be tempted to cross the bridge by a DMC2-mini...
