Equipment

What's in the space, at a glance. Details on the sub-pages.

Area Highlights Intro needed?
3D printing Bambu Lab P2S (FDM), Anycubic Photon M3 (resin), filament stock, Cricut nearby Yes — ask Maxime, Coco or Loren (resin: David)
Electronics Soldering + SMT gear (microscope, tweezers), ESP32 boards, kit boxes, buildable project kits Soldering intro recommended
Wood workshop Outdoor workbench, mitre saw, jigsaw, drill, grinders Common sense + ask

Taken together it's enough for real product development — mechanical prototyping on the printers plus PCB/SMT work at the bench — not just hobby projects. More equipment is on its way from China.

Printing & crafts

  • Brother HL-L2442DW mono laser printer. Toner restocks go through the To buy topic (generic toner works fine).
  • Cricut cutting machine — vinyl, card, stencils. Has its own tidy corner.
  • Large-format printing (posters, photos): not in-house — see Resources & money for the local print shops.

AV & fun

  • Video projector — a Jellyfin client on it is planned (see Network & servers).
  • SNES mini (Corinne's) — Mario Kart, Zelda, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong. Two controllers max.
  • Multi-screen gaming PC — the main PC has cabling for 4 screens (10 m USB + display cables), bought with LAN games in mind. Left 4 Dead 2 is the promised inaugural title.

Lighting & LED

  • LED strips — bright warm-white strip (same as on the roof), plus some RGB strip (controllable with an Arduino/ESP32).
  • The desk lighting and the illuminated window display were member builds; more sign/neon projects (3D-printed diffusers + LED) are ongoing.

Radio & misc

  • SDR receiver — software-defined radio; needs a better antenna for low frequencies. Good first target: hunting numbers stations.
  • Loanable member gear (ask, don't assume): international IoT SIM card, receipt printer (COM/USB), label printer, 2.5" SATA USB reader, Starlink (tested working in the mountains — mobile working sessions are a thing).

Kitchen facilities

The bar/kitchen corner has a fridge and coffee situation of variable ambition. A proper shared kitchen (used cabinet run + oven + dishwasher) has been researched extensively and is on hold pending decisions about the coworking space — see Projects. Potlucks happen regardless; the space owns dishes for 25.

Ground rules

Announce borrows, return things where they live, and ask for a walkthrough before first use — see House rules.

Donations

Most of the equipment arrived as donations — keyboards, screens, tools, money. If you have surplus gear, post in the group.
