Milwaukee Makerspace

Milwaukee Makerspace is a community + place for people who like to build, invent, tinker and/or learn new skills and expand their minds.

One of our members is trying to help a local restaurant and share art with the community, but the city wants to shut it down.

We know we have a *long* way to go in our organization, our city and our nation. Makers learn that past a point if one aspires to be better, you can not get there alone. We are listening, taking note and working to ensure that making truly is for everyone.

@myfrontlinehero @kapcometal Thanks! We don’t have a factory, we’re just a makerspace. ;)

But we care about our community and our city!

@erikcederb @RCLPeoria @MidwestRRfest We’d love to have you! Hopefully this madness will end at some point.

[Milwaukee Makerspace @mkemakerspace]

2,199 face shields delivered... enough frames for 17,000 more... and $18,797 raised to help protect Milwaukee-area medical workers.

(Big thanks to @3dverkstan and @erikcederb as well!)

@shaiss Let's talk! Sent you a DM.

[Milwaukee Makerspace @mkemakerspace]

Hey, that's a lot of frames! Injection molding is not producing thousands of face shield frames... we're putting them together with clear plastic fronts and delivering them this week.

@3dSkane @erikcederb @CocaCola We've got friends in Florida who also received plastic from Coca-Cola... we're investigating many options!

[Milwaukee Makerspace @mkemakerspace]

@erikcederb We found 1,200 pounds of PET today! Four 300 pound rolls... that should last for a bit. :)

[Milwaukee Makerspace @mkemakerspace]

Frames for days! First batch of 1,700 face shield visors from our injection molder. We'll be packaging them up with the clear front piece and delivering them to people in the coming days and weeks...

The good folks at @mkemakerspace are volunteering their time in a herculean effort to make face shields to donate to hospitals. Your donation can help them buy the supplies needed https://t.co/Py6hz7isTq @gofundme #MilwaukeeMakers #Milwaukee #PPE

One of our members has passed away this morning from complications due to COVID-19. Please do what you can to be safe and take care of those in your community.

[Milwaukee Makerspace @mkemakerspace]

Didn’t know we’d ever need this sign, but glad we can help provide free face shields to the community

[Milwaukee Makerspace @mkemakerspace]

We produced approximately 2,000 face shields this week. Next week we'll ramp up the distribution end to get these into the hands of front line medical workers...

Do you know of nurses, doctors, techs that need face shields?

@cityofmilwaukee @GrMKEFdn @onmilwaukee @UrbanMilwaukee @codeformke We are now manufacturing face shields we can provide for free to medical workers in need. Request them here.

(Our way of giving back to the community, through making.)

[Milwaukee Makerspace @mkemakerspace]

Milwaukeeans! Do you work in a hospital or clinic and you need face shields for PPE? We got you covered, for free. Go here: https://t.co/WqJB8CnAmw
