If you can't repair or repurpose your electronics it's important to properly recycle them ♻️

Got something you've been meaning to fix?

Can't bear to throw that electronic device out because you KNOW it can be repaired, but didn't have the space, tools, or knowledge?

Bring it by tomorrow's Third Thursday Repair Workshop!

SEE YOU ALL THERE!

You know, living in the future -as we do- is weird. 3D printing has changed so fast in last couple of years. We just had someone donate two really good 3D printers to the space because they got better ones. Here's our new Ender 5 and Ender 5 Plus. 😳
