EOF Hackspace is an open community of makers and repairers who come together to
share knowledge, tools and space. Our location at Makespace Oxford offers us a
much needed workshop space to work on all kinds of projects, including
collaborations with Brookes University, Oxfordshire County Library, the
Ashmolean Museum and more. The tools we purchase and the direction in which we
expand will be primarily decided by our members. If you would like us to acquire
a particular tool, please join the co-op and make your case! We also take
suggestions from non-member users, however it may take longer to action them.
How we operatePermalink As a user of the space you can use any tools provided.
You can also use the consumables available, provided you replace them regularly
or make a small donation. Your subscription money goes into a pot that pays the
bills and anything extra gets apportioned to improving the space. Activities in
the space are organised by keen volunteers so if you want to learn anything new
please find an experienced member and ask them to host a workshop. A good place
to do this is in chat. Making changes to the space and the direction we take is
done through regular meetings with the members of the co-op (How to Join). These
meetings are also open to non-members on the understanding that they are present
as advisors. We are keen for our members to make the workshop better suited to
their needs, while respecting the needs of others, so small improvements only
need a couple of people to agree they are suitable and do not need to be brought
to the meetings. Sometimes the tools will break. We are not a professional
service and as such unless a tool makes financial sense to replace we expect our
members to fix them. That may mean that your favourite tool might be out of
service for a while. Please highlight it when it happens but be understanding
since everyone in the group is a volunteer. FacilitiesPermalink We currently
offer the following tools: Malyan m200 3D printer Soldering station
Oscilloscopes, power supplies, and other electronics bench equipment Workstation
computer Mould casting consumables Workloads we’re aiming to support in the near
future: Metal casting from 3D printed shapes TIG Welding
