We're at Cardiff Comic Con hosted by Creed Conventions this Saturday! Come along to learn more about the space and check out some of our equipment and projects, including R2-D2!

R2 is getting an upgrade thanks to Elegoo, who very kindly donated a new printer for the Makerspace. Diolch to Elegoo for their generosity. 💡

From one of our members - "My logic board for my dehydrator gave up the ghost, so with the help of other members we wired a heater and fan to a Raspberry Pi Zero, did some magic in Python and built a webUI to control it." Come join us at https://t.co/q4SLCmqPXd to get involved!

Last month our member Beth ran a welding workshop for Cardiff Makerspace members. Everyone had a great time learning the basics of welding. Diolch Beth! ⚙️

We are now Cardiff Makerspace!
The scope of the space has widened and we think it's important that our name represents what we do.
We are open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Saturday afternoons. Join our Discord to arrange a visit! https://t.co/q4SLCmrnML

This #ToolTuesday, a great big thank you to @Unigreenscheme for their huge help in delivering a flow hood a few months back. We've been using it to store and use our resin printers safely and comfortably!
