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.

After our recent hot sauce tasting, a member organized the next food challenge at the lab: an olive oil tasting. The goal was to find the best oil and put a classic assumption to the test, whether the more expensive oils are always the tastier ones.

The verdict? A very exclusive oil took the top spot, one that a member brings back directly from Italy on vacation. So if you want some, better let him know before his next trip.

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.
