MiniJobs

If you want to be mentioned at the previous section as well, one of the easiest ways is to take one of our MiniJobs. This is a great way to participate in the Munich Maker Lab e.V. and contributing time helps keeping our space in a good shape. You can find all information about the scope of the available jobs on MiniJobs.

Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20250427 Plenum

Anything you don't feel comfortable with within the space? What would you like to change or to be changed?

• Drill press (follow-up)
  As discussed in the last plenum we want to sell the Flott drill press (the smaller one) because changing the speed and the height of the table is just pain.
  The question is: Do we want the new drill press as big as the current one (Standbohrmaschine) or is a smaller one (Tischbohrmaschine) totally enough for most of the use cases? --Phier
• Drill press: We keep the yellow new small one and sell the Flott

Things to Buy

• A second analog caliper (since one went missing) for 15,50€ --Phier
  • approved by everyone
• 100€ food & emergeny funds for Kreativlabor Open
  • approved by everyone
