Munich Maker Lab
@munichmakerlab.bsky.social
The freshest makerspace in Munich. Visit us @ Kreativquartier (Dachauer Str. 112h, Tram Leonrodplatz)
Our Weldinger drill press has been with us for a few months and it's doing great! Adjustable speed, digital display, and cross-laser make it fun and precise to use.

Prototype paper towel holders used to break in the lab – but now we have solid wooden ones, handmade by a member. It's always great to see practical improvements taking shape in the makerspace.

Full parking lot? Either giveaways or a club meeting!

Open Thursday from 6 pm at Munich Maker Lab – meet makers & projects.
We recently revived an old video camcorder with burned transistors. Thanks to a public circuit diagram (yes, those once existed!) and some clever fixes, it works again.

Our big lasercutter is back in action – now with a brand new chiller. The new unit runs much quieter than the old one, and we hope it will last just as long. During the repair session, we got a rare look inside the machine and could check out the impressive laser tube – the real heart of our setup.

Laser cutter is down: cooling broke, motor capacitor blew, pump's worn out, with some parts from 1998. We skipped repairs – a new chiller's coming soon for better efficiency and a longer-lasting laser. But never forget: The ways of the laser are mysterious. ;-)

A forgotten custom power supply project based on the RD6006 was rediscovered during our recent cleanup. One of our members took up the challenge and transformed the leftover parts into a functional, mobile PSU for the space, reusing available materials and 3D printing needed components.

Cleanup day recap: homemade pizza, upgrades, and a magically clean white couch (no clue how it got here – but it's cozy)!

On our last project and improvement day – we wanted to refresh our firewood storage at no cost. With the different types of recycled wood we used, it now has a more interesting look than expected.

As a kid, there were things we always wanted but could never have. Now, we don't even have to buy them – we can just 3D print them! <3

In our Maker Lab, the kitchen is an essential part of our community culture – right now, we are lucky to have a member who is motivated to prepare meals for larger groups, which is well received by the Maker team. Our self-grown tomatoes from the yard have also been put to use.

A member recently brought some interesting kids' toys to the lab. These are the kinds of serious real-world challenges we enjoy hacking during our open Thursdays. With enough patience, we're hoping to see a working light controller made from these toys in the near future.

Colorful fairy lights are now permanently installed in the Munich Maker Lab yard – they’re automated with our Home Assistant and switch on at sunset when the space is open. The lights make our yard more visible and inviting for visitors in the evening.

We’ve received a whole box of UV-C lamps, fittings, and power supplies. Since we currently have no use for them, we’d like to pass them on to other makers in exchange for a small donation.
We’d love to see these parts put to use in another maker project!

Maker Lab Rule: if someone asks for “just a helping hand for 2 minutes”… run!
Yesterday our 3D printer twins, Lambu and Rambu, acted up – and one member, already in full motorcycle gear.
Two minutes became twenty fixing the clogged nozzle. At least safety was 100%… always good with Rambu around. ;-)

A new member recently finished building a fighting game controller – supported by our laser cutter for precise cuts in wood, acrylic, and for the USB mount. LEDs were also added to every button and honestly, the tidy cabling is the kind of thing that warms your heart just by looking at it.

A member recently printed many parts in the Munich Maker Lab to build an open-source telescope – the results are truly impressive, and the telescope itself is fascinating to see.

We’re building a demo wall from old circuit boards and gadgets – a bit of "Deutsches Museum" flair for our lab. Got quirky tech relics? Ping us here – they might join the wall. And as it grows, we’ll bring it to life with lights and interactivity!

After our garden yard update, the sun has done its best – the plants have grown tall, and it's already harvest time. Now our maker projects are supported by fresh cucumber snacks, with some special tomatoes hopefully coming soon.

Hot weekend in Munich – while most people relaxed by the water, the Maker Lab was alive with activity. Cars were repaired, woodworking projects took shape, the laser was cutting, and all the 3D printers ran non-stop.

Exciting DIY: One of our members is 3D‑printing colorful scale‑like pieces directly onto fabric. They’re using multicolor PLA and lightweight netting that’s integrated during the print – so the fabric and plastic become one. A bit of leather glued on the back gives the final piece a nice, soft feel.

Big milestone for our electronics lab! Thanks to donations, our reorganized and clearly labeled parts collection now makes it easy to find what you need. It’s now simpler to tackle new projects, share parts, and keep things tidy.

Two of our members have just finished upgrading our "Demo Shelf of Things"!
It's a mini showroom showcasing a lot of cool things you can create with our makerspace – featuring some nice light effects and funny sounds.
