3D printed fix of the week.
One of our members designed a Christmas wreath holder in CAD to match the contours of the door, so it grips neatly and needs no holes or screws.
If you have a door, a wreath, and a problem, we have solutions. 🎄🛠️ #3DPrinting #FixAllTheThings

Did you know we used upcycled acrylic for this year’s Tog Christmas decorations?
The acrylic started life as donated bookshelves in the space, now it’s a festive laser cut cheer. We also filled up the sheets with extra bits to cut down on waste. 🦆

Christmas miracle at TOG Hackerspace 🎄📼
Ambrose brought a 1970s ITT Schaub-Lorenz tape recorder back to life. We opened it up and found a hair bobbin where a belt should be. Proper bodge, but we had the right belt and a Beatles mixtape to test it.

First batch of Christmas decorations is in the post. 🎄📮
The new laser cutter is settling in nicely, and we’re putting it to work on acrylic we repurposed from old furniture. Lovely to see scrap getting a second life.
More festive makes on the way from TOG.

One of our members tackled an upholstery repair on this chair – stripped, re-padded and recovered instead of thrown away.
It’s a lovely reminder that repair skills live right alongside coding, 3D printing and electronics in a makerspace. Keep it, fix it, use it again. 💚
