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 big CO₂ laser cutter is still one of our most used tools. Recently we had another maintenance round – mirrors cleaned, optical parts recalibrated. A lot of dust and laser marks had built up. Probably time to replace them soon. Now the machine has more powerful output again, especially good for thicker material.

Just not sure when "steak" made it onto our material cheat sheet.

Our members are busy crafting Christmas gifts at the lab right now, like this self-made "Schwibbogen". Stop by and see what's being created, or start your own first project.
