Munich Makes Planet

We now have an open sign! It’s coupled to the space status via home assistant so if it’s lit up you’re welcome to come in!

Our member Oleksandr built this cute, little keyboard. It’s a corne. He’s also doing a group buy for the PCBs. If you want one, here’s the slack channel for the group buy

Terry is currently working on a “Jeticopter” and wrote a blog post about it:

This is a blog post that I’ve written for Jetex.org. this site is for enthusiasts of free flying model planes powered by long duration, solid fuel rocket motors. this is a technology founded in the UK around 1950 and most readers are unacquainted with such technologies as 3D printing and CAD design. Rather models are made of balsa wood and doped tissue paper and inherently stable. In these blog posts I’m trying to introduce the audience to some different ways of doing things!

As there is no Chaos Computer Congress this year, we are participating in the decentralized congress effort. Join us between 28 December and 30 December 2022 for some hacking, making, learning and just hanging out with a bunch of likeminded people. 

Find information on joining adn helping on the DECO page.

This event is a collab between Munich Maker Lab e.V. and Home of Making e.V.

We recently had a bunch of students from TuM over to build an automated chess board. 

We are Team One, one of the many teams that took part in the soft and hard skills program Adveisor in 2021, organized by the Chair of Control and Automation Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. In this project we worked together as a team and built a remote controlled self-playing chessboard.
We would like to thank the @MunichMakerLab for the great support during the project and for providing workplaces.

Check out the project website or talk to Spacezhang on our Slack to learn more.

Just getting started? We offer a range of courses and introductions to get you started. Sign up today!

After a long needed but also long lasting maintenance, we are happy to announce the lasercutter is coming back. Stronger (100W), more reliable, easier to use and safer than ever. We estimate that work will be finished mid-december. 

The mandatory courses will pop up on our courses website shortly. Keep an eye on it and sign up once available to start using the laser as early as possible ;-) 

We are open! Join us every Thursday from 6pm for our open evening.

Bring your project, connect with other people and discover our makerspace in the heart of Munich. Just stop by on Thursday after 6pm, no registration needed. 

You can find us at Dachauer Str. 112h, 80636 München. We have a wiki page with more information on how to find us.

Join our awesome intro courses! 

We are currently offering intro courses for the woodworkshop and our 3D printers. They are free and great to get started with your project at Munich Maker Lab. Currently we are offering each of the courses once a month.

Registration is necessary to participate, so why not take a look at the dates and claim your spot today?

Lots of welding and quite a bit of woodworking went into this lantern Milian built in our workshop 😍

Jan built a camera robot that holds a smartphone and points its camera at things.

It consists of a stepper motor, a roller bearing, an oversized power supply and a servo. It is controlled using an ESP8266 and an old 3D printer controller board.

The smartphone then sends a live video feed to his PC to be used as a secondary webcam.

Here is a video of it in use: https://www.twitch.tv/jvpeek/clip/HardEncouragingFriesSMOrc-huGqPbwWFnrbcqyL
