One of our members picked up a second-hand Empisal Knitmaster 600 and got it running. A few hurdles at first, but the fabric quality coming out of this vintage machine is really great. Old iron, new creations!

Our logo, with its mix of text and distinct colors, makes it a great candidate for technical tests. A member recently used it as a multi-color 3D print to experiment with slicer settings and optimize material usage, while still achieving a clean, good-looking result.

We just need to make sure our 3D printed Gollum doesn't make it his precious.

One of our members built this great ceiling-mounted print drying rack for printmaking with oil-based inks, which can take up to a week to dry. The rack is made from MDF, marbles, and 3D printed brackets. To hang a print, you lift a marble, slide in the paper and release — the marble pinches the paper against the MDF and holds it in place. The design is adapted from an existing concept found online.

One of our members hand-carved a linoleum printing block, printed every panel by hand,and assembled it into this stunning Día de los Muertos inspired lantern.

The Munich Maker Lab loves vending machines. One of our oldest ones offers small DIY kits to build blinking rockets and UFOs.

We recently filled it up completely and now it's waiting for curious customers.

Stop by and grab one!

Our good old Ultimaker Unlimited Z, a 3D printer capable of objects over one meter high, has found its final spot.

It wasn't much used by members lately, so it now serves as a nice lighting object on the wall – a memory piece.

Easter is once again the perfect occasion for another round of cute 3D prints.
One of our members just printed these adorable little chicks – each guarding a chocolate treat.

This new woklette didn't stay in its original state for long!
The built-in temperature control just wasn't reliable enough for our members, who brought it to the lab for a cozy woklette session.

Naturally, they couldn't resist upgrading it and now it features full web control and a sleek interface, all thanks to a bit of creative vibe coding and maker spirit.

Goodbye DIY CNC!

This DIY CNC has been with us for years, but it turned out to be too tricky and hard to use, so it wasn't used much. We've now sold it to another maker and will free up the space to reorganize the workshop.

Next, we'll bring in a different CNC from a member – less DIY and more practical for many people.

Garden season is just around the corner and we've got new plans! Our yard will soon feature more raised beds and climbing supports to help everything grow strong and tall.

A classic card game inspired the choice of beans we'll be planting this year.

Bike repair is a regular topic in our workshop. Next to our solid bike stand and air pump, we now have a good basic repair kit again.

One member also created a clear explanation sheet for the tools to help you get started.

New tool alert: We've got a borrowed screen printing machine in the lab. Now we can print on t-shirts, posters, stickers and more. A first workshop should be coming soon – stay tuned!

Last weekend at our community project day, one member spontaneously organized a Hot Ones hot sauce tasting and it was super fun.

The sauces are now in our fridge for everyone to try – if you've always wanted a taste of the show's line-up, stop by.

The crowd favourite was Chimichurri Habanero.

People often think a Makerspace is all about electronics, 3D printing and laser cutting, but at the Munich Maker Lab, we also make things with fabric!
Our members sew, knit and experiment with textiles using shared machines and materials.
We just added a great knitting guide from a book exchange, a perfect match for our hands-on library.

Right on time for Valentine's Day, we've hung up a new borrowed fairy light chain for a little test run. Now there are no more excuses not to have your next tinkering date at the Maker Lab: sipping a Spezi in a cozy corner while the romance slowly grows by itself inside the 3D printer.

Work safety is always an important topic in a workshop, but especially in an open workshop with many non-professionals. We are happy about a motivated member improving things practically, from better safety goggles, new table saw push blocks, info material and safety course.

The Energy for Ukraine team uses our workshop to recycle battery cells into rugged powerbanks for Ukraine's unstable power regions. Custom 3D prints with special filament, USB lights and LED displays make them tech highlights. Great for our members' battery recycling interests.

In our living room our flipper machine is the favorite – endless gaming fun and fascinating tech with all its cables, sensors, lights and mechanics. When a button broke and the controls failed a small group of our members fully repaired it. A great chance for some hands-on insights!

Workshops usually aren't great places for pets – it's often loud, dangerous and not everyone is a fan. But sometimes leaving them alone at home isn't an option. Still, this little fluff seems to actually enjoy chilling in his tiny cave, even with all the activity around!

The 39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3) is still underway in Hamburg, packed with talks and discoveries. Some Munich Maker Lab members and friends from clubs like muCCC are onsite, while a decentralized streaming session runs in our lab via media.ccc.de – perfect for diving into topics together.

Our Weldinger drill press has been in the Lab for a fewe months now and it's doing great! Stepless speed control, digital height display, and a cross-hatch laser make it super handy and precise. Much more fun to use than our old model!

When the parking lot is full, it's either giveaway time or as last month – our general meeting.

Welcome to our new board: Milian, Adrian, and Karl.

Thanks to our former board, especially David, for their dedication.
